--- title: "Year 5/6 Science Reflection" url: "https://springfieldprimaryacademy.net/blog/2021-11-19-17-04-12-year-5-6-science-reflection" school: "Springfield Primary Academy" --- # Year 5/6 Science Reflection 19 November 2021 [Emma Pinchbeck](https://springfieldprimaryacademy.net/blog/author/epinchbeck) [Years 5 and 6](https://springfieldprimaryacademy.net/blog/category/years-5-and-6) In the science lesson this week, we stood a mirror up on a piece of white paper and we made a narrow slit in a piece of card. We dimmed the lights and shone a torch through the slit towards the mirror. We then drew both the rays of incidence and reflection. After that, we drew a dashed line where the incident and reflected rays met, known as the 'normal line'. We then used a protractor to measure the angle formed between both rays and the normal line. Both angles should have been the same and everyone tried really hard in this lesson! ### Y56 Investigating Light Rays [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/56775551-C0DB-4AA1-87C4-1E8FA71098C8.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/56775551-C0DB-4AA1-87C4-1E8FA71098C8.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/25E2A78B-71DC-48C0-A7A3-DEEC6CA9BDBD.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/25E2A78B-71DC-48C0-A7A3-DEEC6CA9BDBD.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/B29878F7-4D21-487D-B8D3-64CD02402FCF.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/B29878F7-4D21-487D-B8D3-64CD02402FCF.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/5DB9D2D7-1FC5-491F-B691-2D745E02484C.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/5DB9D2D7-1FC5-491F-B691-2D745E02484C.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/D7F46DA8-0EC5-4084-AF14-9295A9656427.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/D7F46DA8-0EC5-4084-AF14-9295A9656427.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/7303AA54-F4A8-49BC-9228-85ADAA69F342.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/7303AA54-F4A8-49BC-9228-85ADAA69F342.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/B1A35FBF-2207-44B0-86B4-219DF672964E.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/B1A35FBF-2207-44B0-86B4-219DF672964E.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/209CD486-DF44-4F18-8527-B1C661333608.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/209CD486-DF44-4F18-8527-B1C661333608.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/A09F63FF-AD8E-4B55-AF1C-282BBA9A55D4.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/A09F63FF-AD8E-4B55-AF1C-282BBA9A55D4.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/FC87A312-273A-4756-BBE1-FA8C0FAE5B17.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/FC87A312-273A-4756-BBE1-FA8C0FAE5B17.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/IMG_2539.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/IMG_2539.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/IMG_1876.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/IMG_1876.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/IMG_1875.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/IMG_1875.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/IMG_1876%20(1).JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/y56-investigating-light-rays/IMG_1876%20(1).JPG) [Science](https://springfieldprimaryacademy.net/blog/tag/science) [Collaboration](https://springfieldprimaryacademy.net/blog/tag/collaboration) [ Year 3/4 DT](https://springfieldprimaryacademy.net/blog/2021-11-19-15-10-12-year-3-4-dt) [Bonfire art ](https://springfieldprimaryacademy.net/blog/2021-11-21-11-37-30-bonfire-art) ![Springfield Primary Academy](https://files.schudio.com/springfield-primary-academy-2/images/icon/Springfield-Logo-2.png) ### Springfield Primary Academy Springwood Crescent, Grimsby DN33 3HG 01472 230260 © Copyright 2026 Springfield Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://springfieldprimaryacademy.net/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
