Understanding Light and Diffraction

Students will:

• Identify sources of light, recognise that light travels in a straight path and describe how shadows are formed and light can be reflected and refracted (AC9S5U03).
• Investigate how scientific knowledge is used by individuals and communities to identify problems, consider responses and make decisions (AC9S5H02).
• Examine why advances in science are often the result of collaboration or build on the work of others (AC9S5H01).

Students can:

• Pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships (AC9S5I01).
• Plan and conduct repeatable investigations to answer questions, including fair tests (AC9S5I02).
• Communicate ideas and findings using multimodal texts (AC9S5I06).
