'Why is it dangerous to look into the sun? - Teacher notes' is a resource from 'Why is it dangerous to look into the sun?', a Year 3 Science lesson from the unit Light and Dark NEW. This lesson uses an enquiry-approach method, and will facilitate students answering the question 'Why is it dangerous to look into the sun?'

<p>In a concise educational unit focusing on safety, pupils are invited to explore the dangers of looking directly at the sun. The teacher provides internet resources, such as an informative video designed for children, which explains the science behind why this activity is harmful. After watching the video, pupils are tasked with summarising the key points they have learned, thereby reinforcing the safety message and ensuring they understand the risks involved.</p>

<p>The importance of this lesson lies in understanding the impact of light and dark on our everyday lives, and specifically, why the sun, despite being the primary source of natural light, poses a danger when observed directly. By engaging with the provided resources, pupils gain insight into the potential damage to their eyesight and the scientific reasons behind this. The lesson aims to instil a sense of caution and promote safe practices when interacting with natural phenomena such as sunlight.</p>
