Last week, Maarya in the year 3 Bluebirds did some fantastic Science experiments at home.
Maarya made some shadow puppets out of cardboard. She used a source of light and a plain wall in her house to observe the shadows. Maarya held the shadow puppets up against a wall and as her puppets were opaque, they blocked the light and caused a shadow on the wall.
Maarya also used some glow in the dark shapes, she put them in a black cardboard box. First, she left them in the light of a room, then she covered them with a blanket to see how much they were glowing. The glow in the dark stars absorbed the light from the source of light in Maarya’s room and then starting glowing when Maarya covered them with a blanket.
Excellent experiments Maarya – well done!
