STEM- Light!

We made Spooky Haunted Houses and explored colour wheels!

We also experimented with bouncing light, using torches and mirrors to reflect light to get it through our sugar paper tunnels and spaces!

Boo!

In STEM, we’ve been designing and making haunted houses.

We investigated light, so included some opaque, transparent and translucent elements in our work.

We used mirrors and reflective paper to reflect light.

Gnarly!
Boo!

We tested with torches but also made circuits with switches to light up our abodes!

Each of these chaps has a name! Naturally!
A classy affair!
We used mirrors to bounce light about; reflection.
Some Lego inhabitants!

We all achieved what we set out to do, and met the criteria on our rubrics.

We made colour wheels using compasses and measured using our protractors, having divided our 360 degree circles by 7- the number of colours in the rainbow.

We spun them using our electricity spinners and made white! It doesn’t show, alas, in the photos!

The light reflects the colours so quickly, the eyes and brain can’t see them, so we see white!

A fun day at school!

We also made lines and angles monsters- can you spot the acute, obtuse and reflex angles?
