Light and Sound

Light and Sound

This term we will be delving into the topic of light and sound.

 

Through research and investigation, in this topic we will learn to:

  • Recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines.
  • Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye.
  • Explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes.
  • Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them.
  • Explain how sound travels and how humans are able to process noise.

 

Please see our topic web and knowledge organiser for more details.
