Learning Intention:
To understand mirrors reflect light
Success Criteria:
I can use my periscope to make observations and draw ray diagrams to show my understanding
Using a periscope and mirror, work in groups to experiment with light.
You must complete the underlined experiments. The other experiments are to be completed if you have the time.
Draw ray diagrams in your book to show:
vv SAMPLE RAY DIAGRAM vv Yours will look different because you will be using 1 mirror.

Draw ray diagrams in your book to show:
- How you see an object through a periscope
- What happens when you look through different ends of the periscope
- What happens when you join 2 periscopes together and look through
- What happens if you look at text through the periscope
- What happens if you shine a torch through a periscope
