ABSTRACT

Light is reflected from surfaces, and light from the Sun can be dangerous and that there are ways to protect the eyes. Shadows are formed when the light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object. Patterns are found in the way that the size of the shadows changes. This chapter describes scientific procedures and clear instructions that outline the simple equipment required for carrying out each procedure. It provides National Curriculum assessment indicators and illustrates how to carry out the primary science experiments and what results to expect. Suggestions for adapting each procedure or activity to the special needs and interests of the students are discussed.
