On Friday we did 6 different experiments involving light:
Here is the link to the experiments if you want to try them out.
Here are some cool games to do with light:

My favorite thing was the prism experiment.

We had to use a torch and mirrors and shine it through a prism creating a rainbow.

It made a rainbow because the white light is made of lots of different colours and when it goes through a prism it refracts creating all the colours of the rainbow.

   

The hardest part was the angles and reflections experiment.

We had to see how many Lego blocks reflected into the mirror the closer the angle was together.

  My favorite part was the part was when we had to see which ice cube would melt quickest on what peice of colored paper. I found out that the darkest one melted the quickest.

My group worked best as a team

during the experiment when we had to guess if the light would shine through the object.

We had a sheet and we had to fill in if we thought if it would be transparent, opaque or translucent.
