What are the characteristics of light? How does light behave? I can explore that light travels in a straight line. I can record what I learn in my experiments about light. I can share what I learned with my class and/or teacher! I can make conclusions about how light reflects.

Light travels in a straight line

Reflection and rough surface Diamonds have lots of surfaces. A rough surface will send light in many directions but it still goes in straight lines

Materials that Don’t reflect well Anything that is dark Crumpled tin foil… why do you think so?

What does reflect light? Light colours: white paper! Anything shiny. What was shiny in our lab? What from our lab should’ve been the best reflector?

Words to describe how light travels Smooth surface: straight, one direction Rough Surface Our word: crazy Scientific word: irregular or diffused It still travels in a straight line, just in lots of directions
