Light from a source forms shadows and can be absorbed, reflected and refracted. (ACSSU080)
Students:
classify materials as transparent, opaque or translucent, based on whether light passes through them, is absorbed, reflected or scattered
observe and describe how the absorption of light by materials and objects forms shadows, eg building shading
gather evidence to support their predictions about how light travels and is reflected CCT
research, using secondary sources to gather information about science understandings, discoveries and/or inventions that depend on the reflection and refraction of light and how these are used to solve problems that directly affect people's lives, eg mirrors, magnifiers, spectacles and prisms (ACSHE083, ACSHE100)
