REFLECTION~
Q. What is reflection?
A. Reflection is when light bounces off of a surface, and changes directions.
Q. How is reflection used in our daily lives?
A. As said above, an example of reflection could be looking at yourself in the mirror. Other examples include: Seeing the moon in the sky. When the moon "glows" at night, it is just the sun's light reflecting off of the moon.

ABSORPTION~
Q. What is absorption?
A. Absorption is the act of absorbing, or taking in, something.
Q. What is an example of absorption?
A. An example of absorption is simple: Think of a leaf. Leaves absorb light, except for green light, which is why they are green. Whatever color is not absorbed and is reflected back is the color of the object.
