The worksheet you've shared is a
Grade 1 Science activity from
K5 Learning, focusing on the concept of
how we see objects using light rays.
---
🔍 Task Explanation:
You are asked to
draw rays of light from the
sun to an object (e.g., a tree), and then from that object to your
eye. This illustrates how we see things — not because objects emit light themselves, but because
light from the sun reflects off them and enters our eyes.
---
✔ Key Concept:
>
Light travels in straight lines.
> We see objects when
light bounces off them and reaches our eyes.
So, even though the sun is far away, its light hits objects (like a tree, frog, ball, etc.), reflects off them, and then travels to our eyes — allowing us to see them.

🧩 How to Solve It Step-by-Step:
Let’s look at the example shown in the box:
- There's a
sun on the right.
- A
tree on the left.
- An
eye on the far right.
- A
dashed line shows the path of light.
#### ✔️ Correct Light Path:
1.
Sun → Tree: Draw a
straight line from the sun to the tree (this is sunlight hitting the tree).
2.
Tree → Eye: Draw another
straight line from the tree to the eye (this is reflected light bouncing off the tree into your eye).
👉 The two lines should form a "V" shape: one from the sun to the object, and one from the object to the eye.

🎯 Now, for the Other Objects Below:
You are given four more objects:
1.
Orange ball
2.
Frog
3.
Crayon
4.
Flower
And an
eye symbol on the right.
You need to draw:
- A
ray from the sun to each object.
- A
ray from the object to the eye.
> Each object must have
two lines:
> - One from the
sun to the object (incident light)
> - One from the
object to the
eye (reflected light)
---
✏️ How to Draw It (Instructions):
For
each object:
1. Draw a
straight line from the
sun to the object.
- This represents sunlight reaching the object.
2. Draw a
straight line from the
object to the
eye.
- This represents reflected light entering your eye.
💡 Tip: Use dashed or dotted lines to show the path of light, just like in the example.
---
🌞 Why This Works:
- The
sun emits light.
- Light travels in
straight lines.
- When it hits an object (like a ball or frog), it
reflects.
- That reflected light travels to your
eye, so you
see the object.
---
✔ Final Answer Summary:
You should draw:
- For
each of the 4 objects (ball, frog, crayon, flower):
- One
arrowed line from the
sun to the object.
- One
arrowed line from the
object to the
eye.
> Make sure all lines are
straight and go from the
sun → object → eye.
This demonstrates that
we see objects because light bounces off them and reaches our eyes.
