This is the conclusion of the Year 9 & 10 science Optical Science study, where they have learnt about reflection, refraction, the colour spectrum, and concave and convex mirrors and lenses. 

They have used Ray Boxes, as their light source to experiment and understand the science behind light and used mathematical calculations to find how long it takes for light to travel, learning that light slows down in different mediums. 

Have you ever tried to spear a fish from the surface and wondered why your eyes are playing tricks on you? This is called refraction. Did you believe that cats have magical powers and can see in the light? It turns out no animal can see without a light source, even if you eat your carrots for dinner. Everything we see is a reflection, where the light source hits the object and then reflects into our eyes.

Our eye experiment helped us understand how this very important organ uses the light reflected from objects to tell our brain what is around us. Students learnt that our pupil and lens focus on an image that our retina develops and sends to our brain via the optical nerve.
