Imagine Valeria, Marina, and Santi are having a fun science day at home. They are playing with a shiny laser pointer and a clear glass of water. They observe something fascinating - the laser beam seems to take a different path when it travels from the air into the water! Can you guess what this phenomenon is called?
Transmission
Reflection
Refraction
Absorption
On a sunny day, Atticus and Michael are playing outside. Suddenly, Atticus notices a dark area moving along the ground as he walks. What could be the reason for this?
His body is blocking light from the sun, producing a shadow on the ground.
The light from the sun is bending, or refracting, around his body.
The light from the sun is reflecting off a shiny object.
Heat energy from the sun is making the ground appear darker.
