At my school it can…

For a science project, wee needed to combine the native story of the raven with light. My project has the raven in the centre, with 6 trees around it. In the bottom of the trees, there are a different lenses. There is a mirror, a prism, convex lens, transparent lens with a bit of red colour, a translucent lens and an opaque tree trunk.

The prism refracts the light and bends it separate ways. The mirror reflects the light in a different direction based on the angle of the light. The convex lens widens, or refracts, the light like the prism. Transparent means that you can see through it, and the lens has red marker on it to make the colour. Translucency is when you can sort of see through the object, and opaque is when you can’t see through it at all.

Here’s a picture of my project a part of the way through:

It wasn’t actually stick to the table, I just had it there to work on it. It’s attached to the black piece of wood.

The lenses go under the trees, and I had a shoebox looking like a bird with a flashlight inside. The shoebox rotated around, and you could point it at each tree to see the different ways the light moves.

My project combined a story, science and math. On the same day I presented this project, I presented 2 others. I will add links to those posts soon!
