Because we have been having so much fun with our most recent light science activities i decided to round up some more fun science ideas for kids having to do with light.
This might be one of the most simple to set up science experiments we ve ever tried.
When you look in a curved mirror either concave or convex your reflection is usually a different shape and size to you.
Similar to our optical illusion science experiment light experiments also rely on what our eyes see.
When you look in a flat mirror you see a reflection of yourself which is the same size as you but back to front.
Learn light reflection with some simple mirror activities.
You ll find light science experiments about both light refraction and light reflection in this science roundup.
It is a bit tricky to explain but impressive even if you can t quite get your head around it.
Another way to learn about reflection is by this magic water reflection.

Paper or card.
Mirrors are very shiny surfaces designed to reflect nearly all the light that hits them.
When looking in the mirror the top of your picture becomes the bottom.
Refraction light experiments.
Try drawing over your shape whilst looking into the mirror keeping your eyes on the mirror all the time and not your paper.
It is yet another way to show kids light reflection.
