Water Refraction Experiment 🦋💐 A simple yet mesmerizing experiment to try at home ✨ You need : - ziploc baggies - paper - markers - sharpie black - vase or clear container with water Stand above the container to be able to see the cool results! The angle matters✨ Science Explained: As the baggie and picture are submerged, the image changes. The water causes light to bend (refract) differently compared to air, which distorts or shifts the appearance of the picture. #scienceforlittles…

Light Refraction Magic: A Simple Science Experiment for Kids
This super simple science experiment is really more of a magic trick, and it will teach your kids all about light refraction. All you need is a glass, water, a piece of paper, and a marker. #DIYscience #scienceforkids
This experiment demonstrates refraction through water. When you view the arrow through air, it is pointing in one direction. When you view the same arrow through water, the arrow seems to switch, pointing in the opposite direction!

Broken Pencil Science Experiment - Refraction of Light in Water
Do you know why a pencil looks bend or broken in water and the science behind it ? Find out how it relates to light refraction.
- When there is no water in the glass bottle, the light travels straight through the bottle, so there are no changes in the direction of the drawings. - But when we pour in the water, the light travels through the water bends and we see the opposite of what actual drawing is. - It happens because of the refraction of light. Refraction means bending of the light. Refraction happens when light travels from one medium to another (i.e from air to water and vice versa)  🧪Materials required-  1. Empty glass bottle  • 2. 2 sheets of white paper  • 3. Markers  • 4. Water

Reverse Arrow Experiment ➡️⬅️ Here’s a super cool experiment that demonstrates light refraction. Simply hold a drawing of an arrow about 4-5 inches behind a round glass of water. Watch as the arrow reverses direction when it’s behind the water. It seems like magic, but this is actually due to light refraction or the bending of light. The glass acts as a magnifying glass and magnifies the arrow a bit with the curve of the glass. But once the arrow is held behind the focal point, it reverses itself. If you hold the arrow too close to the glass it won’t appear reversed. So cool! Try drawing other images to see if they reverse!
