Concave and Convex Mirrors - Worksheet - Year 6

The worksheet for Year 6 delves into the intriguing world of concave and convex mirrors, providing an educational exploration into how these mirrors affect our perception of images. To kick-start the lesson, students are prompted to watch an educational video that investigates the properties and effects of concave and convex mirrors. This visual introduction is designed to engage the students and provide a practical understanding of the concepts they are about to study in more depth.

The core focus of the worksheet is to help students comprehend the function of our eyes in seeing and to differentiate between concave and convex mirrors. Concave mirrors, which curve inward like a cave, have unique reflective properties that can magnify objects or project images depending on the position of the object relative to the mirror. In contrast, convex mirrors bulge outward, causing the light to spread out and making objects appear smaller than they are. Through this worksheet, students will delve into the science behind these mirrors and their practical applications in everyday life.
