• Find patterns in the way that the size of shadows change.
• Science, Year 3, Light
• Recognise that shadows are formed when the light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object.
• Science, Year 6, Light
• Recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines.
• Science, Year 6, Light
• Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them.
• A portable, easy-to-use torch designed for educational experiments on light and shadows.
• Facilitates understanding of light travel and shadow formation. Requires two DD batteries (not included).
• This handheld torch is a versatile education tool ideal for engaging primary school children in light and shadow experiments, supporting specific learning objectives in the science curriculum.
• Year 3 pupils can explore how the sizes of shadows change, understanding light dynamics, while Year 6 pupils can engage in activities that illustrate light's straight-line trajectory and the formation of shadows that mimic the shapes of objects blocking light. Educators can easily integrate this practical tool into various lessons to facilitate interactive and stimulating learning experiences.
This lightweight torch, easy to handle, can be effectively utilised in multiple settings within a school environment. Requiring two DD batteries (not included), it is an essential resource for schools that need reliable and straightforward scientific equipment that supports key elements of the science curriculum.
