Light vs. Dark

http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/gamesactivities/lightdark.html

Light & Dark Learn about light & dark as well as light sources & reflections as you experiment with different objects in this fun activity. Does a mirror ball give out light or does it just reflect light from another source? What about a lamp, torch, animal or jacket? Play around with the objects and see what results you get. Learn the difference between light sources and reflections, which light sources give the brightest light, properties of sunlight and how wearing reflective strips can make cyclists stand out more so they are less likely to be hit by cars. Kids will enjoy experimenting with this interactive science game.
