P5 UV Experiment
17th Jun 2026
Today in P5 we did an experiment to see which material was the best at repelling the sun’s UV rays. We learned that UV rays can cause sun burn and hurt our eyes when we look at the sun too long. We put special UV beads into bowls before covering them with different materials. We made predictions as to which material would be the best at repelling the UV rays. We took them outside for 5 minutes before bringing them in to see if they had changed colour. Some of them did which we had predicted!
