Since sixth graders figured out the predictable pattern with light and mirrors, they're thinking about how a different item, that still reflects light (because we see it, right), may create a pattern, too.
We closed out the week with the same experiment (shining light on paper and measuring it from different angles) and we're stumped. There's no pattern with our data. But is it possible that having no trend in our data tells us something about a difference between paper and a mirror? :-)
