Light & Seeing in the Dark

Science · Waves, Light & Sound · conceptual

Observe that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated by a light source

What mastery looks like

  • Explain that we need light to see objects — without any light source, it is completely dark
  • Describe an observation showing objects become visible only when light reaches them
  • Distinguish between light sources (sun, torch, lamp) and objects that just reflect light

Check your understanding

If you go into a completely dark room with Light & Seeing in the Dark, can they explain why they can't see anything until a torch is switched on?
