Year 6 - Light
Pupils should be taught:
  • recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines
  • use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye
  • explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes
use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them / Computing
Link to prevent -, safety, global connections, working collaboratively
Pupils should be taught:
To code (using Scratch)
• Set IF conditions for movements. Specify types of rotation giving the number of degrees.
• Change the position of objects between screen layers (send to back, bring to front).
• Upload sounds from a file and edit them. Add effects such as fade in and out and control their implementation.
• Combine the use of pens with movement to create interesting effects.
• Set events to control other events by ‘broadcasting’ information as a trigger
• Use IF THEN ELSE conditions to control events or objects.
• Use a range of sensing tools (including proximity, user inputs, loudness and mouse position) to control events or actions.
Use lists to create a set of variables.
• Use the Boolean operators
() < ()
() = ()
() > ()
()and()
()or()
Not()
to define conditions.
