Activity 2: Question Game. Estimated duration: 24 min
Refraction Playground
Get in the lab! What is the difference between refraction and reflection? Find out by comparing the differences in action. The virtual lab will teach you about the difference between reflection and refraction. It will then allow you to virtually try using reflection and refraction to complete different tasks to advance to the next level of the lab.

Gali's Lab - Refraction of Light
Welcome to Gali's Lab, a forensic science laboratory, where you will be the detective. Your first case involves detecting real stones from fake ones. You will learn detailed information about light and refraction. You will then you put your skills to the test by using a light refraction machine to calculate the refractive index and compare it to the known materials in the data base.

Light Shot - Transmission and Refraction of Light
Light usually travels in straight lines but did you know that you can bend it using different materials? In this game, you will use a light ray to shoot and refract light. Your player will be transported to wherever her ray goes. As you play, you'll learn about how different materials bend light in different ways. Are you bright enough for this puzzle?
