Year 3 Science – Dark Boxes

Year 3 investigated which materials are easier to see in the dark.

After making their predictions, they peeped into dark boxes to see which of the materials were easier to spot. The class agreed that the shiniest materials, including tin foil and sequins were the easiest to spot, while black card was very difficult to see.

Year 3 then linked this to the importance of wearing bright and reflective clothes at night so they can be seen easily and stay safe.
