Let there be light

This worksheet is best used as independent practice as part of your light energy lesson. It can also be completed with a guided small-group or done as a whole class activity by projecting the worksheet via smartboard. 

Light Energy Worksheet Scaffolding and Extension Tips 

Challenge students to explain the reasoning after selecting their answers. Additionally, fast finishers can show they understand the concept by listing other ways that light can be reflected, refracted, and absorbed. 

If students are having trouble with the lesson, they might benefit from partner work or small group review of the concepts.
