Letting the Light Through

In this worksheet, students will be given the opportunity to consolidate and stretch their understanding of opacity and the extent to which shadows form according to the material that the light falls upon.

Curriculum subtopic:   Shadows

Worksheet Overview

Light and shadows are inextricably linked - that means that you cannot have a shadow without a source of light. But what about the object that the light is shining on - does the shadow depend upon what that object is made of? If it's see-through, dark-coloured, made of plastic, does that make a difference?

 

In this worksheet you'll have the chance to explore questions like these, putting your understanding to the test and also helping that understanding to grow.
