    Paearu Angitu (Success Criteria): I can...

    • can measure using tools such as a spectrophotometer to ensure that the material meets the desired reflectivity standards for specific wavelengths of light.
    • can verify through experiments that measure the angles of incoming and reflected light, ensuring adherence to the law of reflection (angle of incidence = angle of reflection).

    Hei Mahi (Activities):

    1. Experiment - Investigating the laws of reflection
    2. make a periscope and explain how it works
