Lights, Mirrors, and Reflections in Birch

This afternoon, Birch class continued their science topic of light.

Students first recapped what a light source was, with Oliver H., Evie, and Adi mentioning that fire, a torch, and the sun were all light sources.

Then, they became familiar with the straight way that light travels by angling their mirrors to see their partners... And, no, that's not Alex taking a selfie!

In pairs, they then used their own light sources to estimate the angle of reflection in a mirror.

There was some excellent reciprocity between partners who helped each other measure their rays of reflection. Excellent work, Birch Class!
