Performance Task: Video Experiment on Reflection

and Refraction of Light


NOTE: DO THIS INSIDE THE SCHOOL PREMISSES ONLY DURING SCIENCE TIME

Title:
Light in Action: Demonstrating Reflection and Refraction

Subject:
Science 8

Output:
3–5 minutes video experiment

Groupings:
5-8 Groups (Will be announce in the Group Chat)

Objectives:
Students will demonstrate and explain the concepts of reflection and refraction of
light using a simple experiment and present their observations through a recorded video.

Materials (You may use any of the following)


 Flashlight or phone flashlight
 Mirror
 Glass or transparent container
 Water
 Straw or pencil
 White paper
 Spoon or any shiny metal object

Instructions (Follow These Steps)

Step 1: Form a Group


Form a group with 5-8 members.

Step 2: Prepare Your Experiment


Your group must demonstrate the following:

 Reflection of Light

 Shine a flashlight on a mirror or shiny surface.


 Show how the light bounces off the surface.

 Refraction of Light
 Put a straw or pencil in a glass of water.
 Show how the object appears bent or distorted.

Step 3: Record Your Video


Record a 3–5 minute video showing your experiment. The video must include the following
parts:

 Part 1: Introduction

 Introduce your group members


 State the topic: Reflection and Refraction of Light

 Part 2: Materials

 Show and name the materials you will use

 Part 3: Experiment Demonstration

 Show the reflection experiment


 Show the refraction experiment

 Part 4: Explanation

 Explain what happened in the experiment


 Explain why reflection happens
 Explain why refraction happens

 Part 5: Real-Life Applications

 Give at least 2 examples where reflection or refraction is used in real life


 Examples: Mirrors, Eyeglasses, Camera lenses, Rainbows

Video Requirements
 Length: 3–5 minutes
 All members must participate in the video
 The experiment must be clearly shown
 Speak clearly and loud enough to be heard
 Use a phone or camera to record

Submission
Upload the video in Google Drive and send the link to the teacher together with the names
of the members. Deadline will be March 13, 2026.
