Year 3 Explore Reflection in Science
Back
This week, Year 3 dove into the fascinating world of mirrors and reflections during an interactive science lesson. The children explored how mirrors work and investigated why images might appear differently. Using mirrors and various shiny materials, they tested their predictions and drew conclusions by tackling intriguing challenges such as:
- Is everything in a mirror back-to-front?
- Do mirrors turn all images upside down?
- Can mirrors reflect light from their surface?
- Does moving further away from a mirror allow you to see more of yourself?
- Can you see a clear reflection in a flat piece of polished metal?
- Can you see a clear reflection in a piece of crumpled kitchen foil?
The children worked collaboratively in groups, enjoying hands-on investigations that sparked curiosity and lively discussions. It was a fantastic learning experience that truly brought science to life!
