‫أﻛﺎدﯾﻣﯾﺔ أدﯾﺳون اﻟﻌﺎﻟﻣﯾﺔ‬ “Empower students to learn for life and strive for excellence so that they can contribute positively to the global society” YEAR 6 SCIENCE WEEK 01 and 02 TERM 01 Topic: LESSON 01 – Light LO: By the end of this lesson, I can explain and compare the different light sources. LESSON CONTENT A light source is anything that produces its own light. Light sources can be natural or man-made. They emit light, allowing us to see objects around us. Natural Light Sources: Natural Sources of light are created naturally. examples: The Sun: The largest naturally occurring source of light is the sun. By using this light energy, plants make their food. Stars: Like the Sun, they emit their own light. Fireflies: Small insects that generate light naturally. Fire: Produces light through the burning process. Man-Made/ Artificial Light Sources: Artificial Sources of light do not occur naturally and are prepared by man. examples: Light Bulbs: Commonly used in homes to provide light. Torches (Flashlights): Portable devices powered by batteries. Candles: Produce light when lit. LEDs: Small, energy-efficient light sources are used in many devices. Light Resources (Sources of Light): These are objects that produce their own light. The Sun: A natural source of light that illuminates the Earth. Light Bulbs: A man-made source of light used in homes. Candles: When lit, they produce light through burning. Fireflies: Insects that produce light naturally. Torches (Flashlights): Portable devices that emit light using batteries. Not Light Resources (Objects that Do Not Produce Light): These are objects that do not produce light but may reflect it. The Moon: It does not produce its own light but reflects light from the Sun. Mirrors: They reflect light but don’t create their own. Books: Objects that can be seen only when light shines on them. Walls: Solid objects that reflect light but don't generate it. Furniture: Items like chairs or tables that don’t emit light but can reflect light. ‫أﻛﺎدﯾﻣﯾﺔ أدﯾﺳون اﻟﻌﺎﻟﻣﯾﺔ‬ “Empower students to learn for life and strive for excellence so that they can contribute positively to the global society” Topic: LESSON 02 – Light (investigation) LO: By the end of this lesson, I can complete my investigation that light travels in a straight line. LESSON CONTENT Light speed is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. In order for the light to travel so fast it travels in straight lines, which scientists call rays. Light rays do not bend but they can change direction when they hit something smooth, flat, and shiny. Topic: LESSON 03 – Light (how light travels) LO: By the end of this lesson, I can draw a diagram showing how light travels from the source and bounces from the object into our eyes. LESSON CONTENT Rays of light travel from a light source and hit objects around us. The rays of light reflect, or bounce, off an object, and then travel into our eyes. This reflection of light allows us to see the object. 1. Light radiates from the source. 2. Light travels very fast in straight lines. 3. Light hits the object. 4. The light reflects from the surface of the object and is scattered. 5. The reflected light travels very fast in a straight line toward our eyes. 6. Light enters our eye through the black hole in the middle, called the ‘pupil’. 7. Light hits the light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye. 8. A message is transmitted along the optic nerve to the brain. 9. The brain interprets the message so we see the object. 10. Our brain interprets the light as an image of the object. ‫أﻛﺎدﯾﻣﯾﺔ أدﯾﺳون اﻟﻌﺎﻟﻣﯾﺔ‬ “Empower students to learn for life and strive for excellence so that they can contribute positively to the global society” YEAR 6 SCIENCE WEEK 03 TERM 01 Topic: LESSON 01 – Reflected Light (Light and Straight Lines) LO: By the end of this lesson, I can evaluate how a ray of light changes direction when it is reflected from a plane mirror. Cambridge Primary Science Learner’s Book pages 142 – 143 LESSON CONTENT How Diddy Sees the Book Using a Ray Diagram: Start at the source of light. Use a ruler to draw a straight line from the source to the book. Use a ruler to draw a straight line from the book to Diddy’s eyes. Add arrows to show the direction of the light. Light is shining in many directions from the light source, hence why Diddy would be able to see the light itself and not just the book. Reflection happens when light bounces off smooth surfaces like mirrors. Flat mirrors are called plane mirrors. When you look in a mirror, you're seeing light bouncing off your face, creating a mirror image. Light usually travels in straight lines, but when it reflects, it creates a second version of the object. Still water, like a lake, can also reflect light, just like a mirror. In a reflection, like in the water, the image is flipped, so it looks like a copy of the real thing. For example, you can see the real flamingo and its reflection in the water at the same time. ‫أﻛﺎدﯾﻣﯾﺔ أدﯾﺳون اﻟﻌﺎﻟﻣﯾﺔ‬ “Empower students to learn for life and strive for excellence so that they can contribute positively to the global society” YEAR 6 SCIENCE WEEK 03 TERM 01 Topic: LESSON 02 – Reflection (Rays and Angles on Reflective Surfaces) LO: By the end of this lesson, I can analyse how light travels when it reflects, by identifying its rays and angles on reflective surfaces. Cambridge Primary Science Learner’s Book pages 144 When rays of light reflect, they obey the law of reflection. The angle of incidence always equals the angle of reflection. Glass can make Mirrors are one reflection, but not as Glass only reflects some of the example of a well as a mirror. Glass light as it is transparent. type of surface is transparent so some that creates a of the light rays travel Light that bounces off an reflection for us to through the glass and object is called reflected light. see ourselves. some are reflected. ‫أﻛﺎدﯾﻣﯾﺔ أدﯾﺳون اﻟﻌﺎﻟﻣﯾﺔ‬ “Empower students to learn for life and strive for excellence so that they can contribute positively to the global society” YEAR 6 SCIENCE WEEK 03 TERM 01 Topic: LESSON 03 – Reflection (Periscopes) LO: By the end of this lesson, I can investigate how periscopes work by analysing the behaviour of light as it reflects off a plane mirror.
