Give me 3 - Things I remember about light
Science Resource Description
The "Give me 3" activity is an engaging exercise designed to help children recall and consolidate their knowledge about light. The task encourages them to list three things they remember about sunlight, reflection, and moonlight. This activity not only reinforces their understanding of the basic principles of light and its effects but also highlights the importance of light in our daily lives, including the natural occurrence of light and dark.
For each of the three categories, students are prompted to delve into their memories and provide key facts or concepts. When considering sunlight, they might think about how it is the primary source of natural light on Earth, its role in photosynthesis, or the way it affects the Earth's climate. Reflection could lead them to remember the law of reflection, the role of smooth surfaces in creating clear reflections, or everyday examples like mirrors. Moonlight discussions might touch on how moonlight is actually reflected sunlight, its phases, or its influence on tidal patterns. The activity is designed to be a fun challenge, with points awarded for each correct answer and a time limit to add a sense of urgency, while spelling is not a focus, allowing students to concentrate on the retrieval of information.
