LIGHT IDEA 1 - MINDMAP

Here is the first in a new series of videos linked to the Science topic of Light. There are ideas to cover the majority of objectives covering Light in Year 3 and 6. As always, these ideas are not to be followed as a scheme of work, instead, they showcase how creative technology can be embedded to enhance this topic.

In this first idea, we look at creating a mindmap to collate all our prior knowledge, questions and predictions.
