LET’S TRY ONE
Light passes through clear glass and a picture behind it is visible. What does this show?
The glass transmits light.
Passing light through a material is transmission.
Learning steps & teaching tips
Use observations to describe transmission, blocking and reflection of light.
- Trace whether light passes through, is blocked or changes direction from a surface.
- Work through the example. Explain how its evidence supports the answer.
- Try a new question; use the explanation to check your thinking.
Try it together
Make one new example with a partner. Identify the evidence for your answer before checking it together.
Trace whether light passes through, is blocked or changes direction from a surface.
