Today we reviewed reflection and refraction. This activity focused on TEKS 5.8B that says, the student will.... identify and demonstrate everyday examples of how light is reflected, such as from tinted windows, and refracted, such as in cameras, telescopes and eyeglasses. We did a few more examples of each: Reflection: mirrors and shiny, flat surfaces. Refraction: a pencil in a glass of water, microscopes, magnifying glasses, binoculars etc.

The students then sorted this page into two groups, one for objects that reflect and one for objects that refract.

Our Big Book of Vocab words were:
Reflect(ion)
Refract(ion)
Complete Circuit
Magnet/Magnetic
