testing our safety jackets

After learning about the Green Cross Code we designed our own jackets that would help to keep us safe when we are out in the dark by helping us to be easily seen.  After planning the jacket on paper we then made a small version of the jacket and tested it in either our light boxes or our dark den.  We identified two key findings;

1. The jacket was brighter if it was one main colour
2. Using reflective material like silver stripes or sparkly fabric helped to reflect the light from the
    torch and made the jacket stand out more.

We may have some future fashion designers in class!!!
