This science teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to explain, describe and test how light from a specific source can be reflected off a range of different surfaces and materials.
The class can investigate and record how light can reflect at the same angle off the surface of different materials to illustrate how light can travel in straight lines.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explain, describe and test how light from a specific source can be reflected off a range of different surfaces and materials
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to explain how to prove facts about light by conducting different tests and a worksheet to investigate and record how light reflects at the same angle by conducting different practical tests.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how light from a source can be reflected off a range of different surfaces and materials.
This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to explore and model concepts about how light is produced and how it can travel through different materials. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
