class Response 3

Today in Treasurer's class, we were doing several activities. These activities have to do with four terms that I learned from the activities. They are reflection, refraction, convection, and conduction. The activities are blowing bubbles, finding a cup in oil, playing with rubber bands, using a prism to see a rainbow, reflection and their angles, a broken pencil and refracting penny, reflecting rainbows and regular reflections, and seeing the colors of the rainbow. Reflection is the returning of heat, light, or sound. Refraction is the bending of light. Conduction is the transfer of heat between two mediums. Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid. if you want to learn more about this kind of stuff, you can go to
