Science Experiment - Reflectors

Our science experiment this week was on reflectors. We used two toilet paper tubes - we covered one end of the tubes with aluminum foil and the other with black construction paper. Then we took the covered tubes and a flashlight and went into a dark room. We shinned the flashlight into each of the tubes to see which one would shine. (Hint: it was the one with the foil.) We learned that the reason the tube with foil shined is because the foil reflects light, and that cat's eyes also reflect light which makes them appear to glow in the dark.
