It’s been getting spooky in the Year 6 classroom this half term while we investigate a very serious crime.
A laptop has been stolen from school and there’s a mountain of evidence to trawl through, most of which seems to require specialist knowledge of light and how it behaves. Therefore, we have all become physicists to investigate the evidence and find out ‘who dun it’.
We’ve explored how light can be reflected because it can travel in straight lines.
We’ve found out how the angle of the light beam entering a mirror affects the angle at which it is reflected.
We’ve also investigated what factors change the length of a shadow.
So far, we’ve eliminated two suspects from our investigation. We’ll keep you posted on how it progresses in the coming days.
