Light from a source forms shadows and can be absorbed, reflected and refracted
Elaborations
drawing simple labelled ray diagrams to show the paths of light from a source to our eyes (Skills: Literacy, Numeracy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
comparing shadows from point and extended light sources such as torches and fluorescent tubes (Skills: Numeracy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
classifying materials as transparent, opaque or translucent based on whether light passes through them or is absorbed (Skills: Literacy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
recognising that the colour of an object depends on the properties of the object and the colour of the light source (Skills: Critical and Creative Thinking)
exploring the use of mirrors to demonstrate the reflection of light)
recognising the refraction of light at the surfaces of different transparent materials, such as when light travels from air to water or air to glass (Skills: Numeracy)
