Have students write their predictions. Discuss predictions and also list properties of light. In small groups, do the experiments with the clear glass. Have students compare their results with their predictions and discuss. Students will compare how light reflects off mirrors held in different positions.
Students communicate their results through discussion.
Flat, shiny surfaces such as mirrors produce the best reflections. Use masking tape on edge of mirrors for safety. Demonstrate how light reflects off a mirror. Assign partners and give each pair a flashlight and mirror. Have one student hold the flashlight, while the partner holds a mirror and tries to reflect the flashlights beam to specific areas in the classroom.
