Kid-Safe Mirrors

Fri, Aug 30, 2013

Materials: Camping Mirror

Activity: Collect shiny, non-glass, objects such as a metal spoon, pot lid, cd, tin foil, holiday ornament, disco ball, camping mirror, baby mirror, kaleidoscope or mirror paper. Bring your favorite character, and use shiny objects to find reflections!

Research Questions: How does the shape of a mirror affect the reflection? Texture? Material? Position? Can you make a reflection of a reflection?
