 Light is electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye.

NATURAL SOURCES OF LIGHT -A natural source of light is light
that occurs naturally without the involvement of humans.
Natural sources of light can come from either an object or a
living species.

ARTIFICIAL SOURCES OF LIGHT-Sources of light that are

created by humans are called artificial sources of light.
Examples are torchlight, electric bulb, and candle. Most of 5.Now draw/cut other shapes and designs, cut them into

 No, because if the drawing or cut out is not symmetrical, we

cannot fold it in half and get two identical halves. 2.
Therefore, if we fold it in half, we will get two different halves.
c. What will happen when you cut the drawings crosswise instead of
lengthwise, and place them beside a mirror? Will you get the full
view of the pictures?

mirror it will look whole while when you place a drawing that
was cut crosswise it won’t look whole.

d. What is different about printed text in the mirror, can you read it?
 The text reverses left-to-right because when you turn the
paper towards the mirror, YOU'VE reversed the writing left-to-
right. Then you just see a mirror image of it.
e. What characteristic of light is explored in your activity?
 Reflection because light bounces off an object. If the surface is
smooth and shiny, like glass, water or polished metal, the light
will reflect at the same angle as it hit the surface.
f. How is light reflected using the mirror?
 The reflection process inverts each wave back-to-front, which
is why a reverse image is observed.

Can we live without light? Why/Why not?

 It is unlikely, though, that an adult could die directly and exclusively from prolonged darkness. Most likely a person would become ill
and die from a range of chronic diseases caused by lack of sunshine, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and tuberculosis. So, yes, I
would say that humans need sunlight to survive.

Tell whether each light source is a man-made or natural. “How Do You Really Look?”
Follow the instructions and answer the Observation Sheet below.
Materials: 2 small identical mirror.
A tape
A book
 A clock
A comb

What to do:
1. Take the mirrors and attach them together using a tape do that they
form a right angle.
2. Face the clock toward the two mirrors (just in front of the angle).
3. Open and face the book toward the two mirrors.
4. Try to read what you see in the mirrors.
5.Try to look at yourself in the mirrors and comb your hair
Observation Sheet
1. Can you read what is written in the book?
2. Can you determine the time on the clock facing the mirror?
3. You able to comb your hair in front of the mirror?
