   Reflection and safety

   Recognise reflected light and safe ways to study sunlight without looking at the Sun.

Using it in class

Full bank: 25–40 minutes with discussion; choose 5–8 for a short round. Everyone decides before a rotating representative answers. Tasks interpret supplied records. Use supervised low-power torch activities; never view the Sun directly or in a mirror.

Give everyone time to think and discuss before one pupil acts at the board. The class explains and confirms together; hints and explanations stay until you move on.

Use an up-to-date browser on a computer connected to a whiteboard or shared display. Touch, mouse and keyboard; optional audio and reduced motion. No pupil accounts or personal devices.

Choose from 5 challenges up to the full activity. Discussion determines the duration: you set the pace.
