They observed how light passed through the aligned holes and reached the screen. The real challenge began when they moved one cardboard sheet out of alignment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would the light bend to pass through the holes? Would it still reach the screen? These thought-provoking questions encouraged learners to predict, observe and investigate. By changing the position of the cardboard sheets, they discovered that light travels in a straight line and does not bend around obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the investigation, our young scientists demonstrated curiosity, observation skills and critical thinking. They confidently shared their predictions, answered challenging questions and supported their conclusions with evidence from their observations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wonderful learning experience that transformed a simple experiment into scientific discovery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1000277697.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51756\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1000277692.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51752\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1000277687.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51750\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1000277690.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51751\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1000277679.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51746\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1000277699.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51757\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our CIE 2 learners explored the concept of light travelling in a straight line through an exciting hands-on investigation.
