Our 8th-grade Cougars in Mrs. Aviles’ Science Class turned their lab tables into a spectrum of discovery. Using Skittles and colored lights, students investigated the fascinating ways light is reflected and absorbed.
The big takeaway? They discovered exactly why objects can change their "look" depending on the light source. It turns out, color is all about how you see it! 💡🍬
Great job, Mrs. Aviles’ class, for shedding some light on how the world works!
