Light Energy!

The apes got a chance to use a prism to explore light energy and then we colored water to see how light would behave.  Adding salt to the water enabled us to see a lot more in the water. We were able to see the refraction and the rainbow created with the prism.  Using the water they all got to see the light pass through the water, the reflecting of light on the foil and the actual beams of light through the water.  We could see the beams bending through the water when the light was directly shining on the cup!  We could even tell that the other colors of light were absorbed into the blue water so only the blue came through onto the white paper. We have gotten to explore potential, kinetic, sound, light and heat energy!  We will soon discuss renewable and nonrenewable resources and then move onto matter!  I see lots of fun ahead!
