Example programme
Light and Sound
Light is given off from an object or reflected by it. Light travels in straight lines. The sun is a source of light because it makes light (luminous), like a burning ball. Other things seem to shine so brightly like a mirror, but they reflect light. Examples from solar system with the moon and sun in 3D. Rainbow and colours. Refraction and reflection. Sound is a vibration in the air. Sound travels through the air in waves. How much energy or amplitude of sound. How sound is measured. Sources of sound.
Rocks and Soils
There are three different types of rocks on earth. Metamorphic, Sedimentary and Igneous. Examples of rocks to hold. Fossils are found in sedimentary rocks. Fossils provide evidence that different life existed in the past. Rocks and Soils are used for many purposes. Houses, roads and factories are built with materials from rocks. Glass is produced. Soils types to hold. Metal extraction. Panning for fools gold.
