Period 1 Science

Yesterday, we came up with a hypothesis that light spreads out in every direction that it possibly is able to. We tested this experiment by shining the light in the corner at one wall and saw if the light would show up on the other wall. It did, so our hypothesis was supported.

We looked into this hypothesis further by watching a movie in class today. It was about light and the hypotheses we have been talking about. The children in the movie were talking about if they were in a dark room would they be able to see anything. The children all thought that they would be able to see something in the complete dark but they couldn't see anything. The girl in the video was trying to prove her hypothesis that she would be able to see the objects in the complete dark. After six minutes in the dark she could still not see anything but she continued to believe her hypothesis was correct.


This picture shows how the sun's rays of light spread out in many different directions. This picture supports our hypothesis that light spreads out in as many directions as possible.
