Today in their science lesson, Year 1 were testing the reflectiveness of materials. They tested a variety of materials (tin foil, black paper, dark fabric, bright fabric, mirrored plastic, newspaper, shiny paper, and brightly coloured paper) to see whether the light bounced back and reflected onto the white paper. They noticed that mirrored plastic and paper was extremely reflective and brightly coloured paper and fabric was also very reflective and even turned the white paper a different colour. We also found out that dark fabric and paper was not reflective. These colours absorbed the light. Great science Year 1- well done!
