Experimenting with Light

Some things are see-through, or transparent - that means that light shines through them. 

We gathered some materials - paper, tissue, tinfoil and greaseproof paper to experiment to see what materials are transparent. 

We first made predictions about the materials and then carried out our experiments. 

Here we are trying to trace the picture of the sun through each material to test their transparency...

We discovered that the greaseproof paper and tissue were the best materials for light to shine through...
