Let there be light!


          Yesterday is science, we completed some light stations to test out different light concepts.  We tested what would happen when we looked at convex and concave objects, reflections, and refractions.  We also practiced making some different shadow puppets and thought about why we have shadows and what happens when the sun moves across the sky- where does our shadow go and how does it change? 

Convex Image- looks like a reflection...
 

Concave Image- what happened?


Reflection Symmetry


We're testing objects to see whether they are opaque, transparent, or transluscent.
 

We used a light source to create different types of shadows on the wall.
