Celebrating our scientific thinking

Refraction action

  • live at UOIT, 23 August 2010
  • based on the thinking of grades 2-3 students at a summer math+science camp
  • students explored the following science story:
  • see the original song, performed by the grades 2-3 children

Light bends
It turns
Like sledding
With a foot in the snow

A car
That hits a gravel patch
And the wheels’
Speeds don’t match

A lifeguard
Her surfboard
Half in the water
She thinks it’s broken

 

I aim at a fish
By the pier
But always
Miss with a spear

Light  plays
Tricks with my eyes
My spear seems broken
I’ll settle for some fries

I look up
At the rainbow
action
And I think, Refraction!
