Based on the Australian Curriculum,Physical sciencesin Science Year 5 includes:
A 21 slide editable PowerPoint to use when teaching your students about light in Science.
A worksheet that explores the difference between shadows.
A worksheet that explores light and shadow and the principles of a fair test.
A science experiment that explores reflected light.
A set of 5 Task Cards with activities that allow students to observe the refraction of light.
A worksheet that explores classification of objects according to light transmission.
A science experiment that explores the perception of colour.
A comprehensive set of posters, activities and worksheets related to the concept of light.
This Physical Sciences unit addresses the properties of light. It explores the phenomena of reflection, refraction, shadow and more.
An assessment task in which students will demonstrate an understanding of light and fair testing.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will investigate how the colour of an object depends on the properties of the object and the colour of the light source.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will investigate how the colour of an object depends on the properties of the object.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will observe the refraction of light at the surfaces of different transparent materials.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will use mirrors to investigate some of the properties of reflected light.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will compare shadows from point and extended light sources.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will classify objects based on how much light is transmitted through them.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will draw simple ray diagrams to show the paths of light from a source to the eyes.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will research the concept of light and generate a list of statements that can be tested.
