This was supposed to be a lesson on refraction, but there wasn't much sun today so we had fun with reflection instead. I love taking the curriculum outside whenever possible. Sunlight is always preferable to fluorescent light and an added bonus was dipping our hands in cold water on a hot day.
I filled up some smallish white tubs with two sizes of mirrors. One tub had clear water and one tub was tinted a pale purple.
Later I added some colored translucent shapes to spice things up since there wasn't any direct sunlight.
I didn't document any of their thoughts today because my hands were busy in the tubs as well!
The end!
