Free Light Template | Year 3 Core | BookFlik

Make your science lessons shine with our comprehensive Science light template year 3 core resource. Designed specifically for teachers following the UK National Curriculum, this engaging pack helps children explore the fascinating world of light, reflections, and shadows.

In this lesson, Nova the barn owl guides students through the core principles of light. Children will discover that they need light in order to see things and that darkness is the absence of light. Our Science light template year 3 core covers essential topics including how light reflects from surfaces, the formation of shadows, and why it is dangerous to look directly at the sun. Through interactive activities, pupils will investigate how shadows change size depending on the distance between the light source and the object, reinforcing their understanding of scientific enquiry.

The pack includes five to seven questions ranging from simple recall—such as identifying light sources—to more complex application tasks, such as predicting how a shadow will behave. We have focused on clear, accessible language to help build scientific vocabulary, ensuring all learners feel confident and supported. By using these original materials, you can provide a structured, high-quality learning experience that saves you planning time while keeping your class enthusiastic about science.
