Reflection is when light bounces off an object, while refraction is when light bends while passing through an object.
When you look at a mirror the light bounces of the mirror from different angles, so you can see your reflection. If you point light or a laser pointer at a mirror, it will reflect to the wall in front of the mirror.
Refraction is when light bends. For example, When there is a rainbow in the sky, the light from the sun is being refracted from the particles of water and splits the light up into different colors. Try shining a light in a clear prism!
