Investigating light in Year 2
28th Jan 2026
In P2, we carried out an investigation to find out which materials are best at blocking light.
We made predictions about which materials we thought would light let through. Then using a torch we shone it onto different materials to see what would happen.
We tested card, different fabrics, glass, clingfilm and wood. We found that some materials let a lot of light through, some let a little and some blocked the light completely.
We think we make pretty good scientists. 👩🔬👨🔬🔦
