Lighten Up


The young scientists in first and second grade became experts in the field of light. Through a series of student developed investigations, students discovered the properties of light, how light interacts with various materials refraction, and various ways to manipulate light.  They recently assumed the role of optical engineers to design a lighting system that could illuminate the hieroglyphs found on the inside of an Egyptian tomb using indirect light. 
What will happen if the change the angle of the mirror?

Will paper reflect, absorb, or transmit light?

How can we reflect this light?
