Laser Reflection STEM Law of light DIY Kit Kids Science Experiment

Hey there! Let's talk about something really cool: how light behaves when it hits a mirror and what happens with lasers! Reflection Law of Light Imagine you have a shiny mirror. When you shine a flashlight at the mirror, the light bounces off. This is called reflection! The way the light bounces off follows a simple rule called the **law of reflection**. Here's the rule in easy words: the angle at which the light hits the mirror is the same as the angle at which it bounces off. It's like playing catch with a ball against a wall; it bounces back the same way it came in! Specular Reflection with a Laser Now, let's talk about lasers and something called **specular reflection**. Specular reflection is when light, like from a laser, hits a smooth surface and bounces off in a clear and organized way, just like a flashlight on a shiny mirror. Optional Cool Laser Experiment 1. What You Need: - A small laser pointer (make sure to have an adult help with this). - A small mirror. - A piece of whi
