WHAT I LEARNED IN SCIENCE THIS WEEK!!!

1. This week in class I learned that when you look at an object such as a ruler in water from an angle it looks like it is bent which is called a refraction. We learned this when we did an experiment on it in class on Tuesday. It is important to know this because now if you look at something in the water and it is distorted I will know that it is truly not bent it just looks like that.
2. Also this week we learned about the wave model of light and the particle model of light and how they both work under different conditions for example the particle model works for casting shadows and the wave model works for the refracting of light in water. We learned this through experiments done in class. It is important to know this so that I know that not just one light model works and that they work in different conditions.
3. Last but not least we learned that when the light from the wave model hits the water it refracts at a down angle. We learned this by discussing it and finally coming to this conclusion in class. It is important to know this because now I know that the wave model works with the refracting of light and now I know how it works.
