Reflectivity
A post in our latest news section.
Posted on February 14, 2025
In Science this week we carried out an experiment all about reflectivity. We did this by making a light catcher and using a light box.
We chose 5 different materials to act as our surfaces, including some smooth and some rough surfaces. We then shone the torch on to the surface and looked at how much light was reflected back on to the card. We ranked the materials from 1-5. One being the surface which reflected the most light and 5 being the surface that reflected the least light.
You can see an example of one of our conclusions below.
