Encourage discussion and promote scientific thinking with these Year 6 Light Concept Cartoons. They feature a range of common misconceptions that can be unpicked as pupils explain their viewpoints. Encourage them to use evidence from their learning to justify if a statement is true. This will also help you to identify any gaps in children's understanding so that these can be targeted quickly. This resource features the statement 'Our eyes produce light so that we can see' and the question 'Can light only reflect off shiny surfaces?'

They are flexible in their use, meaning they could be used at the beginning or end of a topic. They are also ideal for display - ensuring a knowledge rich environment to further young minds.
