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.
