Activities

  1. Investigate the effectiveness of various reflective surfaces (Yr5&6)
  2. Draw and note angles of incidence and reflection (Yr5&6)
  3. Know that the angle of incident is equal to the angle of reflection when predicting beam journeys and drawing scientific diagrams (Yr6)

Investigation
Lighting Effects: reflecting light. Explore the world of lighting effects and decide how you want to light your show. Use mirrors to create reflections and direct beams where they need to be. (Problem solving, Pattern seeking)
Years 5&6 - Investigate the effectiveness of various reflective surfaces
Years 5&6 - Draw and note angles of incidence and reflection
Year 6 – Use the angle of incident and reflection when predicting beam journeys and drawing scientific diagrams


Vocabulary
Reflective materials, reflection, angle of incidence/reflection, light, beam, straight, scatter, distort
