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
