Can light go around the corner? Are there coloured shadows? Why is it dark at night?

Light and shadow, colour and reflection are optical phenomenons, that fascinate children. Experiments will help them to understand the natural scientific facts behind the phenomenon.

The field of vision, the structure of the human eye and other secrets become comprehensible.

All experiments tie in with the experiences of the children. In a playful way they will find out the laws of reflection, the composition of light and optical illusions. Playing with shadows will lead to surprising discoveries.

The children use two mirrors and a cube to investigate how often the cube can be reflected.


The depth of the mirror world can be experienced particularly impressively with this experiment.


The children use bendable mirrors to investigate the deformation of the reflected image.


The worksheet guides the children to a series of experiments. By drawing their observations on the sheet, they learn a simple, systematic approach. In the end, it allows statements to be made about how shadows differ and what the prerequisites for this are.
