Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to Light	5	Begin with a brief introduction to light. Ask students to share what they know about light. Introduce the concept of sources of light.
2	Exploring Sources of Light	10	Use flashlights and mirrors to demonstrate how light can be reflected. Show different sources of light (e.g., sun, bulbs). Allow students to handle materials.
3	Light Behavior	10	Conduct a simple experiment with the prism and various colored paper to show how light can be refracted. Discuss what happens when light hits different surfaces.
4	Recap and Discussion	4	Summarize what was learned about light, reflection, and refraction. Encourage students to ask questions.
5	Homework Assignment	1	Distribute worksheets for home assignments that expand on the lesson’s topics without requiring presentations in class.

Assessment

• Observation of students during hands-on activities.
• Review of completed worksheets for understanding of concepts.

Homework

Students will complete a worksheet that includes questions about light sources, reflection, and refraction. The completed worksheets will be collected during the next class without presenting them in front of the class.
