Y6 Science: Investigating Light!

Back to News

25th Sep 2020

Our topic in Science this term is Light. We began by looking at how light travels in straight lines and that light can travel faster than any known thing.

We also found out fabulous facts. Did you know that the light we can see from some of the stars in the night sky is between 500 and 1000 years old because it has taken so long to reach Earth from where it is in space!

We set up human models to show how light travels and how images reach our eyes.
