In Year 6 we have been learning about light.
We built our own periscopes to prove that light travels in straight lines. We learnt to draw accurate scientific diagrams to show how light travels from the light source and reflects through the periscope to our eyes.
We planned and carried out fair test experiments to investigate shadows: how the proximity of the light source affects the size of the shadow and how the angle of the light affects the length of the shadow.
We enjoyed investigating the effects of mixing coloured light to see whether this has the same effect as mixing coloured paint.
