Do you know a young detective or cryptologist? Hop on over to Green Kid Craft's blog where I wrote an engaging secret code mirror activity. While kids explore writing and decoding secret messages with mirrors, they'll also begin to learn the science of light and reflection.
This post contains affiliate links, see disclosures for more information.
You'll need the following materials for the secret code project:
- A small mirror
- Markers
- Index cards
- Ball of modeling clay or a can (optional)
If you are teaching about mirrors, light and reflection, for elementary, I'd highly recommend checking out the More Picture-Perfect Science Lessons' "Mirror, Mirror" lesson plan. In addition to standards linked activities it uses the children's books What Did They See? and I See Myself to investigate mirrors.
