Science of Light
How does light work? Where does it come from? And how does it relate to space?
Students will learn the difference between a light source and a reflector, as well as how opaque objects cause shadows, linking this to solar eclipses.
They will also work in small groups to investigate which materials make the best reflectors, and which materials block light the most. With lots of hands on activities, this is a brilliant way to cover everything your students need to know about light!
