Light Sources.
Looking for Light.
Light Sources.
The focus question for this lesson will be:
Where does light come from?
Students will learn about light, how it travels and how it is used in everyday life.
I will guide the students to construct a concept map about light.
Ask students to think about everything they know about light and discuss with a partner.
Display an unfilled concept map with light as the main topic. Invite students to share what they know about light and add to the concept map.
Revise prior knowledge about light.
Focus questions:
Where do we find light?
How do we use light?
What is light?
Discuss student responses and add to the concept map.
Explain that light is a type of energy.
Have students copy the concept map into their science journals.
