 Lesson - LIGHT SHADOWS AND REFLECTIONS

Learning Objective Achieved Working Needs

towards reinforcement

I can understand that different types of

objects reflect different amount of light.

I can understand the working of a pin

hole camera.

I can distinguish between the concepts of

shadows and images .

I can relate my learning to real life :when a

pin hole camera seems to be giving us up-
side down images, a mirror seems to be
turning right hand into left hand and the
left into right hand .
