Term 3 Reflection

In term 3, we covered the topic of light. It was rather hard at first, and we were given 10 worksheets at the start of the term, and were supposed to finish them by the end of this term. Basically, we learnt 3 different stuff about light: reflection, refraction, and lenses. They were all interesting and I actually quite like light as we are given pictures to show how light rays travel, which are much more helpful than just words for some visual thinkers like me. Also, I felt that it was actually quite fun to draw all the different lines, and it gives us a sense of accomplishment when we finish drawing them and look at the nice pieces of work. From this topic, we are able to prevent injuries. As now that we know that refraction may cause things to appear as though they are somewhere else, we are now conscious of that an are hence able to prevent injuries, for example when we dive in water. It also helps us, for example when we are netting fish, we will be able to move the net slightly away from the fish we see in the water so that we successfully catch it. This has been my favourite topic of all as we get to play with light in the labs. It was also so fascinating to see the normal white light split into a spectrum of colors thanks to a prism. All in all, this topic has certainly taught me a lot!
