Prometheus, Archimedes and light

Year Six have been exploring the stories of light in Greek legends. We started by listening to the tragic story of the titan Prometheus and his punishment. Prometheus stole fire from the gods to give to humans. This was a noble gesture by the titan, but Zeus was not happy. The king of the gods  punished Prometheus.

We explored why the light this fire provided was so important to the Greeks which lead us to investigate how light travels .

This week we have been asking questions about shadows and then testing our own hypotheses .
