Light waves fun with flashlights by Kenan & Mrs. Greazel


In science we've been learning about waves. We learned about sound waves, water waves, and now we are learning about light waves. To make a sound wave you need noise. The sound waves move by causing molecules in the air, in liquid, or in solids to bump into each other.  Sound waves bounce off of things when they're moving. We discovered that light waves reflect or bounce off of things too. We used flashlights to discover how light waves worked and observed how the light from the flashlights moves through, bounces off, or gets absorbed by certain things.  We had a lot of fun experimenting and learned so much!




How did the light get on the ceiling when the flashlight is facing down? There are mirrors below.
