Enviroweek Sparky

This activity has been designed to support early learning centres joining in Enviroweek. By participating in this activity children are given the opportunity to learn more about light and energy. Children look at light by playing with and talking about torches.
This activity is designed to help connect children to the wonders of the natural world through sensory and play-based learning.

Learning goals: 

• The aim of this activity is to provide children with an opportunity to explore the topic of energy by looking at light. Children respond to ideas and suggestions from educators around the topics of light, and use play to investigate and explore new ideas. Older children will begin to develop an understanding of the relationship between the use of energy by humans and the health of our environment by participating in rich and meaningful inquiry based activities, while younger children undertake group investigations and explore their own interests as they relate to the topic of energy.
