Refraction in Action

 Today was a stellar lab day all about the property of light- refraction. Look at some of the cool activities we did demonstrating the bending of light!
Observing refraction: white light bending into all of the colors of the rainbow (Roy G. Biv)

Look at light bending as the water falls out of the hole in our container

Observing refraction: light from the laser is bent as the water falls from the container hitting a student's finger


Observing refraction: the light bends as it enters the water making the straws appear bent or broken
