Refraction in Action!

This fun and simple experiment explores the principles of refraction. A great activity to celebrate National Science Week 2022 and the theme ‘Glass: More than meets the eye’!

You will need a rounded glass of water to complete this activity.
  • Step 1Take a sheet of paper and draw a simple image of something facing left. We have drawn a bird, but you may wish to experiment with different designs or simply draw an arrow.
  • Step 2Fill a rounded glass with water and place on a flat surface.
  • Make sure your glass is rounded – this activity won’t work with a square glass!
  • Step 3Holding the paper behind the glass, begin to lower the paper so the image starts to go below the water line.
  • Step 4Observe what happens to the image – it should flip horizontally so will now be facing right!
  • What is refraction? Do some research into the science behind what is happening to the image. Refraction refers to the bending of light as it passes through different mediums – in this case glass and water.
