Mirror, Mirror!

In science, our topic is light, and we have been learning about mirrors and how they work. We learned that mirrors reflect light and that this is how we see our reflection. We explored which objects are reflective and which are not, and discovered that smooth, shiny surfaces reflect light best. We talked about how mirrors are used in everyday life, such as in bathrooms to help us see ourselves, in cars to help drivers see behind them, and in shops for safety. We also used mirrors to try to walk around the yard by following the lines on the ground. We found this very challenging because everything was reflected and looked the opposite way.
