- Present children with a 'black box' which has a small peephole in one end and a larger hole covered with cardboard in the top. Ask children to explore the 'black box' to find out if they can see an object when there is no light (cardboard over the hole) and when there is light. Discuss what they can and cannot see. Give children torches of different brightness and ask them to find out what is in the box. Ask them to describe when it was easiest to see the object.

- recognise that a torch will enable an object in a 'black box' to be seen but that when there is no light they cannot see the object
- recognise that some torches give brighter light than others
- explain that objects are easier to see in brighter light eg this torch was brightest and I could see the toy car best
