Stephy, our Science Ambassador, worked with a small group of children to investigate water.

They carried out an experiment.

First we put a pencil into a beaker of water.

Then we looked at the pencil and we saw that the pencil looked like it was broken or bent!

Stephy helped us to discuss why this happened.  It was called refraction.  It is when the light goes through the glass and the water and they both have different density.

Here are some photographs of our experiment.
