Objective:
To introduce the concept of light and its properties to Year 3 students through an engaging and hands-on lesson.
Good morning, class! Today, we're going to embark on a fascinating adventure into the world of light! But before we delve deep into the science of light, I have an exciting activity for you. We will start with a Light Scavenger Hunt around the classroom!
Preparation: First, let's think about everything in our classroom that gives off light or uses light. Can anyone give me an example? (Wait for responses like the window, light bulb, etc.)
Get Ready: I'll give each of you a clipboard and a piece of paper. On your paper, I want you to draw a big, bright sun at the top!
Find the Light: Now, I need each of you to get up and find as many objects as you can that are related to light. This includes things that emit light, objects that reflect light, or anything that helps us see in the light.
Write and Draw: For each object you find, draw a small picture and write a simple word or two describing how it relates to light (e.g., "light bulb," "mirror," "window").
Time: You'll have 10 minutes to complete this scavenger hunt!
Once the time is up, we’ll gather back in our seats and share what we found. Think about these questions:
Great job on the scavenger hunt, everyone! You’ve helped spark our curiosity about light. Now, let’s gather around and explore what light is, how it travels, and why it’s so important in our everyday lives.
By starting our lesson with an interactive scavenger hunt, we not only created excitement and interest in the topic of light but also encouraged observation and discussion. Let’s make this a bright day of learning!
