# 3B Science observation - materials that reflect

  ![Image of 3B Science observation - materials that reflect ](https://files.schudio.com/the-blessed-sacrament-2/images/blog/IMG_0709.jpeg)  1 May 2024   [YEAR 3 BLOG](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/blog/category/year-3-blog)

This week in Science in 3B, we have been looking at reflection. We have learnt that reflection is when light from an object is reflected by a surface and it changes direction. It bounces off the surface at the same angle as it hits it.
We wanted to test which materials reflect light the best.
We got into pairs and went around the room finding different materials and shining a torch through a white piece of card onto the material. If the paper had light on it, we knew that, the material was a good material to reflect light!
We really enjoyed this experiment!
