Light and shadows 3.1 Shadows + investigate how light can pass through transparent materials and is blocked by opaque materials * sort materials into transparent or opaque materials + leam that shadows are formed when light from a source is blocked by an object collect and record observations in tables then interpret the results. make a prediction and see if it is right. (eee Rec * Look at the picture. What might be the light source? * Which child is riding a bicycle? Draw the shadow of the child riding the scooter How are shadows made? A is made when light is byan object. Light cannot pass through an opaque material. This means that a dark area is made. This is a shadow. Shadows have no colour. They are always dark. Shadows have no details like eyes or a mouth. The shadow may not be the same shape and size as the object Does everything have a shadow? Mia has two shadows. Why is this? If Mia moves, how might the shadows change? Light and shadows Transparent materials Some materials are not opaque. They let light through. They are transparent. Transpdrent materials do not make a shadow. We can see things clearly through transparent materials. Q S 4. Glass is very good for making windows. Why is this? 5 Why do shops use so much glass in their front windows? 3.2 Changing > 3.2 Changing shadows + investigate how shadows can change * explore how shadows are formed when light is blocked by an object «make a preliiction and see if it is right + record results in a table then interpret these results « describe simple patterns in results and make a conclusion from results. Why are these shadows so long? * How might these shadows get longer or shorter? it Looking at shadows Do you ever see shadows in your classroom? If there is a bright light source you may be able to see shadows made by objects. Do you ever see the shadows move or change size or shape? A shal yw can look like the object making the shadow. Sometimes the shadow of an object looks very different to the object. Question 1 Identify these things from the shadows: acar, a cyclist. aplane, a fish Sofia is investigating shadows. She moves the toy and observes as its shadow changes. Hold your flashlight pointing down at the toy. Draw the toy and its shadow. 3 Light and st > 3.3 Transparent materials investigate how light can pass through transparent materials and is blocked by opaque materials * identify risks and explain how to stay safe during practical work « moke a prediction and see if it is correct describe simple patterns in results '* record results using a table and make a conclusion. Clean water is a transparent material. We can see things clearly through it. + Some water is opaque and some is transparent. How might transparent water become opaque? Transparent matenais Where do we use transparent materials? We use many transparent materials in homes, buildings and cars. Transparent materials allow us to see things Glass is a transparent material. Some glass is very strong. People are walking on glass on this bridge Transparent materials allow light to pass through them. We can see things clearly through them. Often transparent things protect our eyes or protect us from the welither Glasses and goggles help us to see clearly. They are made from transparent materials. Question 1 Why are dark sunglasses no help when we are indoors? 33 Transparent materials Make a pair of sunglasses ‘You will need: transparent coloured plastic, card, scissors, sticky tape Never look’St the Sun, even with sunglasses it can hurt your eyes.

They need a transparent material for their visors so that they can see. But the visor needs also to stop the sunlight hurting the astronauts eyes. This astronaut's visor is so dark we cannot see her face We can only see the reflection of her hands. Questions 4 Why don't astronauts wear sunglasses inside their helmet? 5 Ifyou wore an astronaut's visor in class, how would the room look? Do you find some parts of science easier to lea: Pena enue science investigation? 81 > 3 Light and shodows > 3.4 Translucent materials ee ke * talk about transparent, translucent and opaque materials * stay safe when using glass in an investigation * record observations in tables then interpret the results '» make predictions and see if they are right + draw a diagram to show how translucent material scatters light. Det) These children are telling a story. How are the shadows made? How do we see them on the large sheet of fabric? Translucent glass Glass is usually transparent. It lets the light through. You can read through transparent glass. The arrows on these diagrams show how the light travels. fe BI T
