Product description
From the author
Use these two worksheets to discuss light, darkness and sources of light. Students add associated words around the LIGHT and DARK boxes on the first page.
The second page has six picture-and-label panels. The sun is completed as an example, leaving five panels for students to draw and name additional light sources.
Use the pages for classwork, homework or an informal assessment. Partners or small groups can brainstorm before recording their ideas.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
List words associated with light and words associated with dark, keeping the two sets in their own labelled word webs
Draw and 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
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 the appropriate word web.
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.
