    The document describes two activities to demonstrate how light travels and what happens when it hits surfaces. In the first activity, students make a row of index cards with holes and observe that light passes through all the holes, showing that light travels in a straight line. If the second card is not aligned, light will not pass through its hole. The second activity demonstrates that light bounces off mirrors but passes through transparent surfaces like glass of water.

    Activity 1 – How does light travel?

    Directions: Secure the materials listed below and follow the given instructions. Answer the guide
    questions that follow.

    What you need:


     3 index cards (1/2 or ¼ size) or cardboards
     small piece of modeling clay
     flashlight
     puncher
     ruler

    What to do:

    1. For each index card or cardboard, use a ruler to draw lines connecting opposite corners of
    the card.

    2. Mark the intersection of the two lines and punch a hole at the center of the index cards.

    3. For each card, use a small piece of modeling clay and place the card into the clay to
    create a “stand” for the card. Place the cards so that they stand vertically and at an equal
    distance from each other.

    4. Place the flashlight at one end of the row of index cards and turn off the light in the room.

    5. Arrange the index cards or cardboards so that light can be seen through all the holes.

    6. Record your observations.


    Guide Questions:
    1. How can light be seen through all the index cards?
