The Week of September 21

This week we extended our researches on light. We learned that a flame is reflected upside down because theres only enough room for the top to go through the bottom part and the bottom to go through the top part of the hole in the cardboard. I also learned how a camera works. The flash of the camera hits the object and bounces back into the lense and it is saved into the hard drive or memory of the camera.
In the second part of the week we examined a laser pointer hitting a mirror and bouncing back onto the wall. We determined that either surfaces have different reflectiveness or that the laser pointer hits off the mirror in a straight direction onto the wall. Our experiments for these hypothesis' include shining the laser light on different objects to see how bright or how big the light is on the surface. That concludes last weeks science classes.
