This week we enjoyed a visit form Mr Bethune, a science teacher from JYHS. He taught us about light and reflection. We got to take part in a couple of experiments. The first one was shining a light onto a mirror and tracing the reflection to see where it went. The second one was using convex and concave lenses, we shone a light through each lens and traced what happened to it. Here are diagrams showing what we learned.
This is what the class thought:
Cassie – I enjoyed it because I learned something new about convex and concave lenses.
Ewan – I thought it was cool when Mr Bethune was reflecting the laser pointer on to the smartboard using a mirror.
Alexander – I liked it when Mr Bethune put coloured filters in front of the projector. It made the colours on the screen look different.
Rebecca – I enjoyed Mr Bethune’s visit because we learned about ray boxes.
