Year 6 Investigating how light travels

Date: 15th Sep 2022 @ 8:56pm

Our lesson today focussed on understanding that light travels in straight lines. To prove this we worked in groups and were given a torch and several pieces of card with holes in them. We experimented with shining the torch through the holes to try to get the beam of light to hit a solid surface. Then we moved one of the pieces of card and this stopped the beam of light from reaching the solid surface. This is because it was blocked and could not get through the opaque material.
