Exploring light and reflection

Light!

Today, Team Amin started to explore reflection. We know that light energy travels in waves and that light travels in straight lines. Reflection means bouncing back and we can see because light bounces into our eyes. We investigated how well different surfaces reflect light and which surfaces absorb (take/suck in) more light and noticed that shiny, smooth materials reflected light very well! Let's keep investigating this week and think about how light travels in more detail!
