This Be Seen Be Safe enquiry is designed to get pupils thinking about reflection and light by finding out what they can wear that will help them be seen in the dark. Through this activity pupils can: 

  • Test different materials to see how reflective they are

  • Test to see if other variables make a difference to reflectivity
