So in math in science AKA sciemathiques we were learning about geometry, light, symmetry, Ibn Al-Hathaym and colour. All of those characteristics had to be included in one big project that at the same time represents light. Here’s a picture and a explanation:

For my science project I decided to create a scene of when the raven chipped the light off and the sky lit up. I was inspired by the northern lights and the shapes of the totem pole, I used bilateral symmetry in the totem pole (because when you split the two sides in half they have equal sides) and radial symmetry when you look over top of the trees because there is a central axis and the rest radiates out, and then colour (the light rays pass through the coloured transparent paper which turns them coloured) and light for the purple sky. Since the First Nations used so many shapes in their art and culture I was also inspired to put mostly everything into a shape, like the branches on the trees are triangular prisms (they have three faces),the long house is a rectangular prism (4 faces, two parallel and two longer parallel sides) and the cylinder is the totem pole. The refraction is shown when you look through the lens. It is changing the way you see the picture because when you look through the lens the light rays that you see never meet because of the convex lens which “stretches out” the image making it bigger (showing that Ibn al-Haytham’s theory that light travels in straight lines was true) also when light passes through different medias it bends outwards or inwards (depending on the lens) Finally the reflection, the light bounces off the mirrored surface because when the light hits it it can’t go through it because of the opacity and shine. It bounces off at the same angle it contacted the surface (the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection) I put it in there so that the light in the room can bounce off and create a shimmer look to act as a ball of light. So that pretty much sums up what we learned in science and math and how I represented each item.
