Porcelain Lace Figurines

concave and convex mirrors

Our mirrors today's game is to observe the differences between the reflections in plane mirrors, concave and convex. We took the class a few large and small spoons and a bucket and began to play ... We proposed to the children who are mirasen in 3 different types of mirrors: plane (the classroom), convex (outside of a spoon or ladle) and concave (inside of a bucket).
When they looked in the mirror plane all said they reflected was perfect, just like them. When looked at by the convex part of the bucket and they could not agree, some said, and were smaller, some more fat, others were rare, and so on. As er agreed that its reflection was no longer like them. But the big surprise came when he looked out the concave side of the bucket ... was reflected "Upside down", ie with the head down and feet up. What a surprise! No one imagined that this could happen ...
Then we played freely with all the spoons and ladles trying to find new reflexes. What was really cool!
