Shadows GC PPT Part 2

The document discusses the properties of light and how it interacts with different materials. It explains that transparent materials like glass and water allow light to pass through them, so objects behind transparent materials do not cast shadows. The document provides examples of activities where students can predict whether objects are transparent or opaque and observe how light interacts with different materials.

Can you read it through all the
objects? No

Why is it so?

Some objects are opaque. We cannot see


through opaque objects.
Learning Objective:

I can:

• Investigate how light can pass through transparent materials

and is blocked by opaque materials.

• Sort materials into transparent or opaque materials.

• Make a prediction and see if it is right.


Introduction
Do all materials in the picture block
light? No

Can light pass through some


materials? Yes

Would such materials make


shadows? No

Do you think you can see through


all such materials? Yes
Key Learning Points

Materials that allow light to pass through them are called


transparent materials..
Example: glass, air, water

Transparent materials do not make a shadow.

We can see things clearly through transparent materials.

1. Does everything have a shadow?


No, transparent materials don’t have shadows.

2. Mia has two shadows. Why is this?

opaque or transparent
material?
opaque

Which material might make a


good sunshade?
cloth, plastic
Summary

• Some materials let light through, they are called

transparent.

• Transparent materials do not make a shadow.

• We can see things clearly through transparent materials.

Homework
Look at the pictures. Has each shadow been drawn correctly?

• Put a tick or cross
