About this worksheet
Year 3 pupils fill in these guided notes during a lesson on shadows. The three pages have four numbered sections, with fourteen gaps and three written notes. Pupils learn that light travels in straight lines and is blocked by an object, then match opaque, transparent and translucent to what each does with light. Two diagrams show a torch and a wooden bear, with a bigger shadow when the torch is close. The last section plans a fair test that changes the distance and measures shadow height in centimetres. The key gives every word and a model note. It follows the England National Curriculum for light.
