of their owner for the afterlife.
They were commonly either
carved from limestone or were
made of pottery.
Science Knowledge Organiser: Light —Year 3
Light is vital to life on Earth and without it plants could not make the food they
need to grow. Our main source of light is from the sun but we can also get light from the stars or
from fire. We have managed to create our own sources too such as electric light. But what would
happen if all the light was removed? Darkness. Darkness is simply the absence of any light.
Light travels very
fast (about
300,000,000
meters every
second) from its
source in straight
lines.
We can see the
objects around us
because light has
reached them.
the sun
electric light
fire
stars
When light reaches an object, it will
behave in different ways according to
the property of the material that
makes up each object.
This material is
shiny so the light
reflects (bounces)
This material is dull
so some light is
reflected off
Transparent materials allow all
of the light to pass through.
Translucent materials allow
some of the light to pass
through.
Opaque materials do not allow
any light to pass through.
The sun is so powerful that we
should never look directly at it. Only special glasses (not
sunglasses!) will stop your eyes being permanently damaged.
light a type of natural energy
source the place that light comes from
darkness the absence of any light
shiny a property that allows lots of light to reflect
(bounce) off the surface
dull a property that allows only a little light to
reflect (bounce) off the surface
reflect light changing direction after hitting an object
transparent a property that allows all light to pass through
an object e.g. window
translucent a property that allows some light to pass
through an object e.g. tissue paper
opaque a property that allows no light to pass through
an object e.g. a brick wall
shadow a darker patch created because and object has
blocked the light
sun a burning ball of gas that provides (amongst
other things) light and heat
Science Knowledge Organiser: Light —Year 3
A shadow will change size if it is moved closer
to or further away from the light source.
Shadows are formed when
the light travelling from the
source is blocked by an
opaque object
The closer to the
light source the
larger the shadow.
The further away
from the light
source the smaller
the shadow.
The furthest away
from the light
source the smallest
the shadow.
DT Knowledge Organiser: Salads —Year 3
What is a salad?

mixture of raw or cooked vegetables

Some salads include rice or pasta
together with the vegetables.
Types of salads

Hygiene and safety
Hygiene in the kitchen is important. If
we don’t keep our kitchen clean, we
can spread germs. When some germs
get on our food, they can make us
sick.
Washing hands and keeping surfaces
clean are two ways we stop germs
spreading.
Some kitchen equipment can be
dangerous. We need to learn to use it
properly so we don’t accidentally hurt
ourselves.
DT Knowledge Organiser: Salad —Year 3
diet the foods that a person eats
regularly
nutrition process of getting food necessary
for health and growth
hazards dangers or risks
hygiene conditions that are clean enough to
keep us healthy and stop illness
spreading.
recipe a set of instructions for making a
particular dish.
texture the feel or appearance of a surface
or substance
protein a nutrient found in foods (such as
meat, milk, eggs and beans) that is
made up of amino acids.
carbohydrates a starch or sugar that is rich in
energy. eg. flour, rice, pasta, potato
