Science experiments are always a big hit especially the ones related to light and teaching about Light can be a lot of fun!

For this, the students lit a candle and placed two cardboards adjacent to it, one behind the other. They made one hole in both the cardboards exactly at a place from where they could see the flame of the candle.
