Refraction in Action

The children in 4th and 5th class were spellbound by fraction in action today.

The children drew a picture on a piece of paper and sealed it into a clear plastic pocket. They outlined their picture on the outside of the plastic bag and then placed in into a tub of water. What they observed was magic!

When the pictures went into the water the light was refracted as it passed through the liquid. The result was that the colour in their pictures appeared to disappear, as if by magic!
