Year 3 – Science Experiment – What is a light source?

Today, Year 3 learnt all about different light sources and how to categorise materials depending on how much light they allow to travel through them. One of our experiments involved peeping into a dark box to see if we could see the object hidden inside … if we could then it was emitting light and was a light source but if not then it wasn’t a light source.

Why not ask us about different natural or man-made light sources? Or, see if we can show you different opaque, translucent and transparent materials around the home?
