Light, Matter and Change

Light can reflect from surfaces and shadows form when light is blocked. Heating and cooling can change states of matter.

What to remember

  • Reflection is bouncing light.
  • Shadows form when light is blocked.
  • Solids, liquids and gases have different properties.
  • Heating/cooling can change state.
  • Physical change need not form a new substance.

Key words

reflection — light bouncing
shadow — region where light is blocked
solid — state with fixed shape
liquid — state that flows
gas — state spreading to fill space
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 25 attempts on the same browser.
