Light

This term we will be looking at light! We will discover how light travels and how this allows us to see the objects around us. By understanding how light reflects, we will design and make our own periscopes which will allow us to see around corners. In addition to experiments looking at the reflection of light, we will also investigate the effects of refraction on how we see an image.
