Let's go through each task in the worksheet
"Unit 4: Light and Dark" step by step and solve it with explanations.
---
✔ Task A. (1) Tick (√) the sources of light.
We need to identify which objects
produce their own light.
-
Candle → Yes, a burning candle produces light.
✔
-
Wall → No, a wall does not produce light; it only reflects light.
✘
-
Sun → Yes, the sun is a natural source of light.
✔
-
Lamp → Yes, an electric lamp produces light when turned on.
✔
✔ Answer: Tick the
candle,
sun, and
lamp.
---
✔ Task A. (2) Recall the reflection activity and tick the objects that reflect the light.
Reflection means light bounces off a surface.
-
Bear → No, a bear’s fur absorbs and scatters light but doesn’t clearly reflect it like a mirror.
✘
-
Mirror → Yes, mirrors are designed to reflect light clearly.
✔
-
Whiteboard → Yes, whiteboards reflect light (that’s why we can see writing on them).
✔
-
Book → A book may reflect some light, but not as clearly as a mirror or whiteboard. However, since it has a smooth surface, it
does reflect light (especially if it's glossy). But in basic science terms for kids,
books are generally not considered strong reflectors unless specified. So likely
✘ unless it's shiny.
→ In this context,
mirror and whiteboard are the best choices.
✔ Answer: Tick the
mirror and
whiteboard.
> Note: A book might reflect some light, but not enough to be considered a good reflector compared to a mirror or whiteboard.

✔ Task B. (1) True or False
1.
We can see in the dark.
→ No, we cannot see in complete darkness because there is no light.
✘ False
2.
Glass is a source of light.
→ Glass does not produce light. It may transmit or reflect light, but it’s not a source.
✘ False
3.
We can see the things because of reflection of light.
→ Yes! We see objects because light reflects off them and enters our eyes.
✔ True
✔ Answers:
1. False
2. False
3. True
---
✔ Task B. (2) Choose the correct answer for the following blanks.
1.
We can see because of reflection of _________. (dark, light)
→ We see because light reflects from objects into our eyes.
✔ light
2.
When light bounces ________ when it hits something (back, stop)
→ Light bounces
back when it hits a surface — this is called reflection.
✔ back
✔ Answers:
1. light
2. back

This worksheet teaches foundational concepts about
light sources,
reflection, and
how we see things. The key idea is:
> 🔍 We see objects because light reflects off them into our eyes. Only
luminous objects (like the sun, candle, lamp) produce their own light. Non-luminous objects (like walls, books) are seen due to reflected light.
