Teachers TV: Questions About Light

Illustrating the principles of light through a story.

This lesson starter on light, tells the story of two friends Liz and Heather, who are looking forward to a nice break by the sea. But they didn’t expect so many problems in their hotel with the lights, and soon their seaside trip turns into a spooky experience in the dark with torches and shadows. Throughout the story we ask questions that relate to shadows, opaque and translucent materials, and light travelling in a straight line. This programme is part of the KS2 Science Lesson Planning Pack on Light, which includes two lesson starters, one great lesson idea and a CPD discussion.
