SCIENCE Light Light is a form of energy. Where does light come from? Anything that gives out its own light is called a light source. There are natural light sources such as the Sun and fire. Humans have also invented artificial light sources. These include torches and lamps. Some animals, such as fireflies, are natural sources of light. Light and Materials Light travels from its source in straight lines called rays. It will continue to travel in a straight line until it hits an object. What happens then depends on the type of material the object is made from. Opaque Materials do not allow any light to pass through. Examples: wood, metal, thick fabrics and thick, coloured plastics. Translucent Materials allow some light to pass through Examples: thin paper, gauze and frosted glass. Transparent Materials allow most light to pass through. Examples: air, water, clear glass and some plastics, for example clingfilm.

How are Shadows Formed? When light hits an opaque object, it cannot pass through. So, the object will cast a shadow (a dark area) at the side furthest from the light source. Translucent materials also cast shadows. This is because they do not allow all the light to pass through. Shadows are used to create puppet shows. Opaque puppets are held between a light source and a translucent screen.

Questions 1. Name one natural light source. 2. Name one artificial light source. 3. What type of material allows some light to pass through? 4. What type of material allows no light to pass through? 5. What type of material allows most light to pass through? 6. What is a shadow?

Click on translucent transparent or opaque sorting PowerPoint on blog Experiment: Testing objects to see if they are transparent, translucent or opaque This works best in a dark room. If you don’t have the materials to do the experiment yourself watch this video of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvMYs5JXjPg Materials (use some or all of these)

Bright torch / light

Piece of wood

Clear plastic bag

Piece of tissue

Piece of cardboard

Piece of tinfoil

Glass

Brown paper bag

Plastic bag

Sunglasses

Bubble wrap

Blue plastic bag Method

1. Turn on the torch and shine it on a spot on a wall. 2. Put objects one at a time in front of the light and see what happens to the light on the wall. 3. Fill in a table like this with your results.

HISTORY Read and answer questions below: Thomas Edison

Thomas Edison is famous for being an inventor. Thomas Edison enjoyed making things. He was born in Ohio, America in 1847. When he was young, he got scarlet fever. He was very ill for a long time and became almost deaf. He had to be home-schooled by his mother because he didn’t get on well in school. As a boy, he did experiments in the basement of his house.

His first invention was the phonograph. The phonograph was the first machine that could record the sound of someone’s voice and play it back. He recited the nursery rhyme ‘Mary had a little lamb’ and the phonograph played the words back to him. Edison invented this even though his hearing was so poor he thought of himself as deaf.

When Edison was growing up, homes, schools and workplaces were much darker places than they are today. Candles and oil lamps were used to give light, but the light from these was very dim. Thomas wanted to invent a light that did not need oils or gas to be lit.

Thomas Edison invented the electric light bulb and this made him famous. He also designed a system of power plants to bring electricity into people’s homes. Thomas Edison continued thinking up new ideas all his life. He was a very hard worker and only slept for six hours each night; the rest of the time he worked on his ideas. He also invented a camera for showing films in a cinema. It was called a cine camera. Edison was called ‘The Wizard’ because by the time he died, he had made more than 3000 inventions. The next time you switch on a light, think about the man who invented it!

Thomas Edison Questions: 1. Where was Thomas Edison from? 2. What is Thomas Edison famous for? 3. What machine did Edison invent that could record and play sound? 4. What nursery rhyme did he first record? 5. Which of Edison’s inventions do we still use today?

An Siopa

Téigh go dtí an siopa, a Pháid.

Go to the shop Pat.

Ná bac le milseáin ná seacláid.

Don’t bother with sweets or chocolate.

Ach ceannaigh siúcra, im is tae.

But buy sugar, butter and tea.

Brostaigh ort, tá an dinnéar réidh.

Hurry up, dinner is ready.

Cheannaigh Páid na rudaí go léir.

Pat bought all the things.

‘S bhí sé ar ais in am dinnéir.

And he was back in time for dinner.

Bhí poll an-mhór i gcóta Pháid

There was a big hole in Pat’s coat

Is chaill sé an t-airgead ar an tsráid.

And he lost the money on the street.

Óró, a Pháid!

Oh dear Pat!
