Activity 1
We observed that when light ray travels from air to the plastic rectangular block, the refracted ray bends towards the normal.When the light ray travels from plastic rectangular block to the air, the refracted ray bends away from the normal. It is observed that when the angle of incidence is at 0 degrees, there is no refraction.

Activity 2
We observed that when light ray travels from the plastic semi-circle block to air, the light ray bends away from the normal. This was seen for angle of incidence of 10 to 40 degrees.
When its was 50 degrees, there was no refracted ray. This is known as the Total Internal Reflection. When further tested, the critical angle was 45 degrees. This means that any degree above 45 degrees will be know as Total Internal Reflection.
Good. However, it can be better by labeling each diagram.
