The Labs of Reflection and Refraction

Last week, we were learning about reflection and refraction. We had about 14 labs to do that had to do with those principles. First, I'm going to give you the defintions of reflection and refracton. Reflection is the return of light, heat, sound, etc., after striking a surface. Refraction is the change of direction of a ray of light, sound, heat, or the like, in passing from one medium into another. We had labs set up around the room and we had partners. The packet that we got told you that you had to observe whats happening at each lab and if its representing reflection or refraction. Some of the labs had to do with mirrors, spoons, oil, soap, bubbles,flashlights and projectors. It was fun to relax but also learn something at the same time. I had so much fun doing these labs and i'd love to do it more often.
