National Curriculum : Light 

 

Pupils should be taught to:

•  recognise that they need light in order to see things and that dark is the absence of light
•  notice that light is reflected from surfaces
•  recognise that light from the sun can be dangerous and that there are ways to protect their eyes
•  recognise that shadows are formed when the light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object
•  find patterns in the way that the size of shadows change.
