Hi guys! This is arlyn (pronounced: arleen) and i am the scribe of the day. In class we performed an experiment on the bending of light. Incase you weren't in class today i'll explain what you need to do so you can do it in the comforts of your home.

Materials needed to perform this experiment are; a sheet of graph paper, a ruler, marker, water, and a transparent half circle container.

Procedures
1. First you need to draw a horizontal line across the middle of the sheet of graph paper. With a marker draw a verticle line in the centre of the flat and curved side of the semi-cicle container.
2. On the line previously drawn trace the container, marking where the line you drew the container is. Fill the container with around a half or three forths of water and place it in the semi-circle outlined on the sheet.
3. Lets call the flat side of the container side a and the the curved part side b. At eye level with the container on the paper, look through b and align the ruler with the line of side a. Repeat this step five times at different angles
4. Repeat step three but look through side a and align the ruler with side b.

I don't have the lab questions with me right now so i think you should get one as soon as possible. Hopefully my instructions were clear enough for you guys to understand. k bye! =D

I would have picked Mark to be the scribe again but i don't think it's allowed.. so i choose Dearly ! Bwahahaha :P
