Today in Science, our Year 6 pupils explored how light travels and how different objects can affect its path. 

 

Through a hands-on investigation, the children used cones to model how light travels in straight lines. By carefully adjusting the position of the cones, they observed that light does not bend around objects, helping them to understand key concepts such as how shadows are formed and why we cannot see through opaque materials.

 

The children worked collaboratively, making predictions, testing their ideas and discussing their observations using scientific vocabulary. It was fantastic to see their curiosity, teamwork and critical thinking skills in action throughout the lesson.
