Light Properties and Behavior

The video tutorial introduces the topic of light and its properties for 5th-grade science students. It begins with questions about light phenomena, such as shadows and reflections. The tutorial then explains six key properties of light: it travels in a straight line, can be reflected, passes through transparent objects, can be refracted, can be dispersed into colors, and creates shadows when blocked. Each property is illustrated with examples, such as sunlight through a window, reflections in a mirror, and the formation of rainbows. The video concludes by revisiting the initial questions, encouraging students to apply their new understanding.
