Year 6 Investigate Light in Science

As part of the science curriculum, Year 6 have been learning how to recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines by investigating the angles of incidence and reflection.

Using their new knowledge (that uninterrupted light travels in straight lines) the children can now explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye and that we see things because light travels from a light source to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes.
