The Y1 scientists have been exploring round school this afternoon using the iPads to record sources of light.
Can you remember which objects we took photographs of?
We discussed where we get light from. What can you tell me about these different objects?
Why are these objects different?
Don’t forget to use the scientific vocabulary we have using!
Ahhhhh, sorry Mr Rob, the moon does actually reflect light from the sun.
The candle, torch, lamp and sun are light ‘sources’
A candle, torch,lamp and the sun are light sources (photons).
I think…. the moon reflects light from the sun and the mirror has a photon type of light.
Wow! I love your description of light Charlie! Do you know any other light sources?
Fire flames, fridge light and microwave…
Great research Charlie. Keep it going!
I remember taking photographs of a torch as well as the outside light and computer.
The moon can look like it’s shining but it is reflecting light from the sun and it doesn’t have it’s own light source.
Smashing description Harrison! Do you know any other light sources?

Mr Rob, we took photographs of a computer screen and Mrs Robinson’s outside light.
The moon doesn’t reflect light it is the sun behind it. The mirror reflects light.
The candles hot, the torch needs batteries, the lamp needs electricity, the sun is very hot and bright, the computer screen needs electricity to turn on and off..
Mr Rob
Are you sure about the moon Molly?
So the candle, torch, lamp and sun are…?
