Help children understand what refraction is with this Year 6 What is Refraction? Investigation Lesson.

In this Year 6 PowerPoint, pupils will learn key vocabulary linked to refraction (such as light, medium and speed) and then learn what refraction is and what situations they may have seen it happen (such as rainbows and glasses). They will carry out an investigation to compare two glasses with a pencil in each, with one also containing water which therefore causes refraction and a visual trick. They will observe and record differences, then consider how the experiment would be impacted with different objects or liquids.
