Lesson Three – Light Rays
This science teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to investigate and illustrate different ways of explaining and demonstrating how light from a specific source can travel in a straight line.
The class can select and perform a range of different practical tests to explore and record the direction and angle of light rays as they travel from a light source.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to investigate and illustrate different ways of explaining and demonstrating how light from a specific source can travel in a straight line
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and explain different concepts about how light works and how it travels from a light source and a table display card to perform a range of practical tests to explain and record how light travels in straight lines.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore different ways of demonstrating how light travels in straight lines from a light source.
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.
