Topic: Light
Learning Objectives:
3.1 Understanding that light travels in a straight line.
3.2 Understanding that light can be reflected.
Learning Outcomes:
State that light travels in a straight line.
Give examples to verify that light travels in a straight line.
Describe how shadow is formed.
Design a fair test to find out what factors cause the size of
shadow to change by deciding what to keep the same,
what to change, and what to observe.

State that the light can be reflected.
Draw ray diagram to show reflection of light.
Give examples of uses of reflection of light in everyday life.
Suggested activity
1. Pupils view the CD teaching courseware / get information from
text book/ article from related web sites.
2. Teacher discusses with pupils to list the main ideas about the
topic based on what they viewed in the courseware.
3. Teacher lists all the pupils ideas on the board.
4. Pupils discuss in groups to construct a mind map from all the
ideas listed or pupils discuss in groups to complete the blank
mind map given by the teacher.
5. Pupils present their mind map in front of class using
transparency or power point slide or mahjong paper.
6. Teacher displays power point slides about the topic and ask
students to cross check the ideas in their mind map.

Activity 2: Experiment 1
Topic: Factor that cause the size of shadow to change
1. Teacher asks pupils to place an opaque object in front of
light source and state their observation.
2. Pupils give reason based on their observation.
3. Teacher asks pupils some questions to generate the ideas
about the size of a shadow.
Q1: What will happen to the size of shadow when the
opaque object move towards the light source?
A : The size of the shadow increases / become bigger.
Q2: What will happen to the size of the shadow when the opaque object
move backwards?
A : The size of the shadow decreases / become smaller
4. Teacher explains the aim of the experiment that the pupils will
carry
out.
Aim: To find out the factor cause the size of shadow to change
5. Teacher asks pupils to identify what to change, what to
observe and
what to remain the same in the experiment.
6. Pupils discuss in small groups to plan the experiment.
7. Pupils carry out the experiment by changing the distance
between the opaque object and the light source and
measure the height of the shadow.
8. Pupils record their findings in a table.
9. Based on their findings pupils answer the questions
provided in the worksheets.
10. Pupils form a conclusion base on the result of the
experiment.
Activity 2: Experiment 2
Topic: Factor that cause the shape of shadow to change
1. Teacher asks pupils to place a cylinder in different position
in front of a light source and state their observation.
2. Pupils give reason based on their observation.
3. Teacher asks pupils some questions to generate the ideas
about the changing of shape of a shadow.
Q1: What is the shape of the shadow when the cylinder is
placed vertically?
A: The shape of shadow is rectangular.
Q2: What is the shape of the shadow when the cylinder is
placed horizontally?
A: The shape of the shadow is round.
