Reflection is when light bounces back. Shiny, smooth and/or bright things reflect the most light. Examples of good reflectors are: mirrors, water, aluminum foil, metal objects, shiny surfaces, smooth surfaces.
Refraction is when light bends. When light travels through a different medium, it bends, or slightly changes direction because it travels at different speeds between each medium. Examples of refraction are: rainbows formed from white light hitting water vapor (acting like prisms), hand lenses, glasses, eyeball lens, prisms, curved class (glass bottles), liquid
There are concave and convex lenses. A convex lens bulges out. When light enters, it then bend and converges on the other side, then spreading out, causing the image to appear larger. An example of a convex lens is a magnifying glass. Concave lenses are caved in. Light travels through, bending and spreading out instantly, causing images to appear closer up. An example of a concave lens is a peep hole.
