Grade 7 students recently conducted an engaging Law of Reflection experiment, using a light box to explore how light behaves when it strikes a reflective surface. By shining light at different angles onto a mirror, they observed and measured how it reflected, gaining a deeper understanding of this fundamental scientific principle.
This hands-on activity not only reinforced their theoretical knowledge but also highlighted real-world applications of light reflection. Students discovered how reflective surfaces, such as traffic signs, enhance nighttime visibility by directing light back toward its source. These insights demonstrated the importance of the Law of Reflection experiment in everyday life.
Practical investigations like this encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills, helping students connect scientific concepts to real-world scenarios. By applying their learning in meaningful ways, they build a strong foundation for future academic and personal success.
