Summary:This project will attempt to discover, by means of a series of experiments that explore the relationships between wholes, parts, planes and multiple images, the nature of how images are formed in a plane mirror. The aim of the activity is to give elementary school students the opportunity to accurately understand the definitions of a plane mirror as well as to make use of an everyday situation to make correct predictions about how many images a mirror can produce. The activity can be used as introductory experiments on the subject of images seen through a mirror which can be completed inside one classroom period. Este proyecto se intentará descubrir, a través de una serie de experimentos que exploran las relaciones entre conjuntos, piezas, planos e imágenes múltiples, la naturaleza de cómo se forman las imágenes en un espejo plano. El objetivo de la actividad es dar a los alumnos de primaria la oportunidad de comprender con precisión las definiciones de un espejo plano, así como hacer uso de una situación cotidiana para hacer predicciones correctas sobre el número de imágenes de un espejo puede producir. La actividad se puede utilizar como experimentos de introducción sobre el tema de imágenes que se ven a través de un espejo que puede ser completado dentro de un período de clase.
