Notes

Light is an integral part of the sense of sight. Much of the everyday experience of light is in seeing colour. This easily observable property of light gives children excellent opportunities to investigate light sources and the nature of light. Building Science Concepts is a series of science resource units for different curriculum levels. A distinctive feature of each book is the ‘concept overview’, located on the inside cover. This sets out the progressive concepts that build towards the ‘big ideas’. The books are linked to the achievement aims of levels 1 to 4 of “Science in the New Zealand Curriculum”. Each book also includes background science notes for teachers as well as suggested student activities.
