Student activity

A lovely activity for KS3 students who are familiar with the rules of reflection. They are given six incident rays hitting a mirror and are asked to draw in the normal and the reflected ray. To complete the activity students will need rulers, protractors and a sharp pencil. They could check their answers using a mirror and a suitable light source.

There are two versions of the sheet so that students can work on a different task to their partner and then can assess each other's work.
