Description
Light is all around us, but not everything we see actually makes its own light. This Objects that Give off Light Worksheet helps kindergarten students learn the difference between objects that give off their own light—like the sun, a lamp, a candle, and a star—and objects we can only see because light shines on them, like the moon, an apple, a book, or a ball. Understanding that some objects are true sources of light is one of the first big ideas young learners explore in science.
This kindergarten light worksheet keeps the activity simple and hands-on. Students look at eight familiar pictures and circle each object that gives off its own light. Then they finish the page by drawing one thing that makes light on their own. Read the directions aloud, let children point to each picture and talk about whether it glows or shines by itself, and use the drawing box to check what they understand. It works as a whole-class warm-up, a small-group science center, or a quick take-home review.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 8 picture-sorting items plus a draw-your-own light source activity
There are three reasons this Objects that Give off Light Worksheet works so well with young learners. First, it uses clear, colorful pictures instead of words, so even pre-readers can join in and succeed. Second, circling and drawing keep little hands busy while the science idea sinks in, helping children remember that the sun, stars, lamps, and candles are light sources. Third, the built-in answer key makes it easy for teachers and parents to check work quickly and turn any mistake into a short teaching moment.
To extend the lesson, take a light walk around the classroom or house and let children name every object that gives off light, from ceiling lights to phone screens to nightlights. Turn off the lights and use a flashlight to show how a light source helps us see objects that do not glow on their own. You can also sort toy pictures or magazine cutouts into “makes light” and “does not make light” piles, or share a book about the sun, stars, and moon to connect the idea to the world around them.
