Light
This science scheme of work for Year Six in Key Stage Two gets the children to explore and model concepts about how light is produced and how it can travel through different materials. The class can investigate how shadows are created, how light travels in straight lines and how people see colour.
Explore and model concepts about how light is produced and how it can travel through different materials

Lesson Three : Light Rays
Investigate and illustrate different ways of explaining and demonstrating how light from a specific source can travel in a straight line
Lesson Four : Pinhole Camera
Devise and build a model of a pinhole camera to explain and demonstrate how light travels in straight lines from a light source
Lesson Five : Reflection
Explain, describe and test how light from a specific source can be reflected off a range of different surfaces and materials
Lesson Six : Colours
Investigate and prove by conducting test to illustrate how the eye can see and interpret a range of different colours
