Title : Fate of light falling on different objects
Objective : To explain how light reacts when it falls on different material
Brief Description :In this experiment we want clear the concepts of a) transparent, opaque and transparent objects with demonstration(wood, glass, water, iron etc). Extent of absorption of light.b) Light falling on rough surfaces scattering which in result act as a source of light. (surface can be shown with microscope)c) Moving towards smooth/shiny surface acting as reflecting surfaces

Title : How to a make Periscope
Objective : To explain laws of reflection through one of it's application
Brief Description :In this experiment we want will explain laws of reflection. We will be providing teachers with cardboards and mirrors. We can provide them with the dimensions and angle of mirrors to be placed. Periscope will work only for particular angle/ planar alignment of mirrors which require understanding of laws of reflection.
List of articles required : Meter Scale, 2 Plane Mirrors, cardboards, Cello Tape

Title : Refraction Experiments
Objective : To understand refraction of light
Brief Description In this experiment we take plate/ pot and place coin in the center.a) In the empty pot we mark the minimum horizontal distance of observer where can't see coinb) Now on the same position, observer sees the coin when we fill it with water.c) Further rays diagrams can be drawn to explain path of light rays.

Title : Refraction Experiments
Objective : To understand refractive index
Brief Description In this experiment we showa) glass rod placed in water beaker bends.b) If we put castor oil in the water, rod part in the water disappears as both have same refractive index.
List of articles required :Castor oil , Glass Rod and Beaker

Title : Refraction Experiments
Objective : To understand why does star twinkle
Brief Description In this experiment we show how star twinklea) We put a candle(acting as star) in front of beaker filled with water which will form image on screen placed other side. If we stir the water, image also start twinkling as star twinkles. b) Further ink can be put in water to show effect of absorption resulting in reducing the intensity of light.
List of articles required :Candle, Beaker, Screen, Ink

Title : Refraction Experiments
Objective : To understand spheroidal shape(water droplet) acting as lens
Brief Description In this experiment we show how water droplet act as lensa) water droplet has curvature and refractive index higher than air, act as converging agent for light.b) How the image magnification varies with position of droplet between source and observer.
List of articles required :Glass, Bottle
