DIGITAL DOWNLOAD: you receive a printable A4 PDF to print at home or school. No physical book is posted.
This 22 page Year 6 booklet builds on Year 3 light work with a more precise look at how light travels in straight lines and how reflection lets us see. It grounds the unit in a periscope activity and a set of ray diagrams, and a "Can we increase reflection?" question turns to mirrors and surfaces. A "How can we draw light?" section introduces ray diagrams properly before the booklet closes by setting pupils up to investigate light for themselves. A Watch the video button opens a free video lesson by Brenda Hayles from every Year 6 question, with the whole unit mapped to the National Curriculum. Diagrams of ray paths and photographs of reflective surfaces appear throughout, with a vocabulary list at the back.
Inside:
- Six questions, from how light travels to ray diagrams
- A free YouTube lesson linked to every question
- Diagrams of ray paths and photographs of reflective surfaces
- Terms such as reflection and ray
