this week in science we continued to learn and experimaent more on light. in the bigginig of the week we noticed that when the light hits the mirror you can bearly see tyhe dot on the mirror so mafter noticing that we pridictied and experimanted more and more on this. the experiment was to see when we shin the light in different objects if it has the same size brightnees and also reflectivness. we made a chart and then we recorded it on a scale on to one to five. our groups predic tion was that on lighter colors like white threr is more reflectivnees and on darker colors like black there is more absobstion. also early in the week we had a quiz which i though was fairly easy if you wrer paying attention in class. that wraps it up.

this week in science we started to learn how the laser pointer works and also the basics of light. The first question that Mr.finley gave us was how does the dot on the laser pointer move around. is it magic no we learned that the way the dot moves around is by a beam that shoots out of the tip of the laser. we figuerd this out by, when we claped two chalk erasers with chalk on them and shot the laser in that area we can easily see the beem the moves the light. this does not only work with chalk dust we saw it works with a smoke machine and also sprinkles of water so that lead me to believe that sny flaky thing is going to make the beem show clealy until it hits a soild object. after we were done with the laser pointer we moved on to light bulbs. we were not just focusing on the light bulbs we were mostly focusing on the billions and billions of rays that the light bulb lets out. we new it was such a big number of rays because were ever we stood in the sight of the light we are going to see light from the rays. also the power of the rays is very large because when we covered it with tap or socks lol it did not effect it too much.. that covers this week in science
