Light teaching resources

Light resources help primary students investigate one of the most observable and visually engaging topics in physical science — from the basic question of what light is to how mirrors, lenses and shadows work.

The collection covers sources of natural and artificial light, how light travels in straight lines, the formation of shadows (and how they change with the light source's position), reflection and what happens when light bounces off surfaces, and how we use light in everyday life. Resources include shadow investigation activities, light source sorting tasks, reflection experiments, diagrams and comprehension worksheets.

Hands-on and visual by nature — these resources work well for classroom experiments and at-home investigations. Suitable for primary year levels.
