About this resource
Teaching science to our elementary students opens them up to a whole new world of interests, but with a whole new take! They get to learn about the weather and its changes. They get to learn about animals and their offspring. They get to learn about natural wonders, such as volcanoes! There are so many engaging things for students to learn during science.
What You Get:
This is a Sources of Light Worksheet that is ideal for upper elementary students! The objective is to correctly identify different sources of light.
How To Implement This Resource:
When students have gained a basic understanding of the many sources of light, this will be a great activity to assess student mastery. This is a 2-page printable that consists of two different charts for students to complete. The first chart will have two figures on it labeled light and dark. Around each square, students will list words associated with these two terms. The second chart will have space for students to draw and write the name of six different sources of light. The sun is already completed for students.
This Sources of Light Worksheet will work great as a class assignment, homework assignment or informal assessment. If you choose to do it as a class assignment, allow students to brainstorm and work together in partners or small groups as they investigate light and shadows.
I hope you enjoy!

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
List words associated with light and words associated with dark, keeping the two sets in their own labelled columns
Name things that are sources of light, following the pattern set by the sun as the given example
Teaching tips
The two sheets share one heading and work well either side of a practical session - the word chart to open the topic, the sources chart to record what was found
Point students at "The sun" on the second sheet before they start, so the entries that follow are things that give out light rather than things that merely look bright
The LIGHT and DARK areas invite talk before writing, which makes the first chart a good paired or small-group brainstorm rather than silent work
Because both sheets are named and dated, the same pair can be run again at the end of the topic and the two attempts set side by side to show what has been learned
Skills covered
Building science vocabulary - students collect the words they associate with light and with dark under two labels on the opening chart.
Identifying sources of light - the second chart asks for things that give out light, with the sun supplied as the first entry to define what counts.
Sorting an idea against its opposite - LIGHT and DARK sit side by side on one page, so each word offered has to be assigned to one column or the other.
Recording work for later comparison - Name and Date lines on both sheets support running the pair twice across a unit and comparing the two sets of responses.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How do the two sheets work together?
They move from loose association to a defined idea. The first collects any words a student links with light and with dark, and the second narrows to sources - the things that actually give light out - so the pair can bracket a practical session or a discussion.
What is already entered on the Sources of Light chart?
The sun. It sits in the chart as the opening example, so students can see the kind of answer expected before adding their own, and it saves the most obvious source from being the only one offered.
