Here's a lesson plan about reflection of light that you can use:
Objective:
Students will understand the concept of reflection of light and be able to identify examples
of reflection in everyday life.
Materials:
Mirrors
Flashlights
Paper
Pencils
Introduction:
Begin the lesson by asking students if they have ever looked in a mirror. Ask them what they
noticed about their reflection. Use this discussion to introduce the concept of reflection of
light.
Body:
1. Demonstrate reflection of light with a flashlight and a mirror. Shine the flashlight at the
mirror and ask students to observe what happens.
2. Discuss the law of reflection (angle of incidence = angle of reflection) and demonstrate it
with a diagram.
3. Have students conduct an experiment where they shine a flashlight at a piece of paper
and observe the reflection. Then, have them change the angle of the paper and observe
how the angle of reflection changes.
4. Lead a class discussion on examples of reflection in everyday life, such as in mirrors,
windows, and water.
Conclusion:
Have students reflect on what they learned about reflection of light and write a paragraph
about it in their science journals.
Assessment:
Assess students' understanding of reflection of light through their participation in the
experiment, their contributions to the class discussion, and their written reflection in their
science journals.
