During our expedition last week class 9 became scientists and conducted an experiment to see how light travels.
They used all the cardboard boxes they brought in to cut out 3 squares the same size. Then then put a hole through the middle of all 3 pieces and strung a piece of string through this.
In their groups they positioned this to see if they could see the light travel through each hole of the squares to reach the eye.
The children were able to prove that light travels in straight lines and when the squares and holes were lined up correctly you could see the light travel straight through.
It was a very exciting lesson and the results were fantastic.
