Magic mirror, on the wall. Who is the fairest of them all?

Continuing with our theme of light, we are investigating the effects of reflection and refraction. Reflection is when light bounces off a surface at the same angle at which it arrived at the surface. These are called angle of incidence and angle of reflection.

Refraction happens when light passes through something more dense than air and slows down. This causes it to change direction. This is why things seem reversed or disjointed.

P7 drew diagrams of what they saw and next week we are onto rainbows!
