Darkness, Sunlight and Reflection - Mirror Position Template

In a practical science lesson focused on the properties of light, students will investigate how reflection works by using a Mirror Position Template. This template is designed to be printed on A3 paper and includes a series of measurements that guide the positioning of a mirror to reflect sunlight. The measurements are given in degrees, indicating the angle at which the mirror should be placed relative to a fixed point or surface. The angles provided on the template are 150, 120, 90, 75, 60, 45, and 30 degrees, each followed by the constant value of 150, which may denote the distance from a certain point or a reference line for consistent placement across different experiments.

The Reflection Experiment requires students to place a mirror at each of the specified angles and observe how the reflected light changes. This hands-on activity allows students to explore the concept of light reflection and the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection. By adjusting the mirror to the various angles and recording their observations, students can gain a deeper understanding of how light behaves when it encounters reflective surfaces. This experiment is an excellent way to visually demonstrate the principles of reflection, a fundamental topic in the study of light and optics.
