Mirror Magic EDUCATION PROGRAMME

Date: Friday, March 5, 2010

Mirror Magic is a great example of science and maths made fun. A touring exhibition, Mirror Magic explores the world of light and mirrors in over 20 different interactive exhibits.

Explore the world of mirrors- convex, concave, multiple and moving.

Challenge yourself to decode some anamorphic art. Use the light table to demonstrate how light is reflected off mirrored surfaces and how it refracts (bends) going through materials such as perspex. Investigate lenses along kaleidoscopes and a build it yourself periscope.

Suitable for year 3-8 students. Curriculum links to Science (Physical world), Technology, Mathematics, and English
