How Do You Help Kids Understand Refraction Of Light?
Scientific experiments aimed at helping kids comprehend the refraction of light do not need to involve complicated, expensive equipment or even a laboratory. Such learning experiments can be fun and stimulating, which help to hold the attention of children. Light refraction can be exhibited using some common household items. One way to survey and interpret light refraction is to create a rainbow and discover how the rainbow is formed; another method is to deploy the use of beads in a glass bowl full of water. Both experiments can be conducted in the classroom or at home. Set a table next to a window with direct sunlight bathing the table. Fill your glass full of water. This should be a clear glass allowing you to see through to the other side. Balance the glass carefully at the edge of your table with half the glass on the table and other half hanging over the edge.
