A science experiment which explores how light travels.
Light comes from a source like a lamp or the sun but we can block it by putting something between it and our eyes. The fact that we can block light tells us something about how it travels. Let’s investigate!
Use this science investigation when exploring the energy of light.
Students follow the scientific method to conduct the experiment in small groups, then complete the worksheet provided.
