Science experiments

PART 1

Today room 1 and 2 had a science day!
Our inquiry this term is light!
We did lots of cool experiments to do with light.
My favourite one was an experiment to do with mirrors and directing light. What we did is have a book standing up. We put one mirror on the front of the book, and then another mirror in front of it and a little bit to the right. The reason it was a little bit to the right is so when we use the torch to shine light on the mirror, it hits the front mirror, then the second mirror, and then the mirror behind the book catches light when the light hits the second one, travels across and then bounces off, then the light hits the back one and reflects it's light into the book, so it was a success.
