Year 6 have been investigating how light travels in science this week. The children were equipped with a length of hosepipe, a torch and some red cellophane and were tasked with making a red light shine out of the hosepipe. After some trial and error, they discovered that light only travels in a straight line so when the hosepipe was completely straight, the red light shone out.

They also investigated how light interacts with a mirror and were able to use a mirror at the correct angle to make the light reflect and travel in the opposite direction.
