Today we used light sensors to measure the amount of light coming off of various objects. The data we collected told us a bunch of things.
1. Objects that are light sources emit light...and lots of it. Our readings of these objects were very high (like the projector and the sun coming in our classroom windows)!
2. Objects that were not light sources also have light coming off them, but just not as much. These readings as compared to light sources were lower, but the fact that we got a reading suggests that they do reflect the light coming from a light source.
3. Distance plays a role in how much light can be measured. It varies as the distance to/from an object changes.
Our consensus model supports all these ideas...what will be up to next?!?!
