Light
This resource from Physicists in Primary Schools (PIPS) supports the teaching of [b]light[/b] at Key Stage Two. A presentation introduces sources of light and how we see them, demonstrating how we see objects, reflection of light, composition of white light and primary colours. The presentation is interspersed with class experiments, games and activities linking children’s knowledge with their experience through demonstration and discussion of up-to-date applications. The resource also includes detailed teachers’ notes on running the activities.
