This week we are doing Enlightening me for our House of Science box. The learning we did was about how light reflects off mirrors. A mirror is something that reflects light. Reflections of a mirror is when light hits it. When you put mirrors together on an angle the image comes to more then less. When you put mirrors in a parallel lines the light bounces causing the Reflections to be infinite. We got 2 big mirrors and we reflected a object, it came up over and over again.Our next task was were we got 2 big mirrors (Concave and Convex) Concave, in words makes the image increase, the Convex makes the image decrease. We had to find out which was which.
