Reflections
Student 1
Learned: Light can travel in straight lines long distances.
Wants to Know: How different angles can effect the color of the moon.
Student 2
Learned: H/D = h/d
Wants to Know: How would I have been able to figure this out without help?
Student 3
Learned: Light bounces off things for us to see.
Wants to Know: Even though we can't use a yard stick to measure the distance from the earth to the sun, how can we teach this to little kids?
Student 4
Learned: H/D = h/d
Wants to Know: Why wasn't I able to see the moon on a beautiful day?
Student 5
Learned: Light bounces off an object in all directions.
Wants to Know: How far away is the moon from the earth?
Student 6
Learned: Light bounces off objects, and that's how we're able to see them.
Wants to Know: I'm wondering if we'll be able to do the shadow plot drawings another time?
Student 7
Learned: How to create proportionate equations.
Wants to Know: Is there a way to use the pinhole camera to measure the moon?
Student 8
Learned: Similar triangles, and using those to develop a formula.
Wants to Know: Could you use a pinhole camera to create special effects in movies? How are pinhole cameras used in popular culture?
Student 9
Learned: Using the pinhole camera to measure the height of an image?
Wants to Know: What are the spots on the moon?
Student 10
Learned: How to find the height of the original image using proportions.
Wants to Know: I want to learn more about the moon.
Student 11
Learned: I thought it was interesting to use the drawings we created over the past few days to create
Wants to Know: How are mirrors different
Student 12
Learned: How are mirrors different from light traveling through a pinhole?
Wants to Know: What types of things don't reflect light?
Student 13
Learned: It might be helpful to review geometry terms that I don't remember?
Wants to Know: Can we measure the diameter of the moon the same way?
Student 14
Learned: I liked seeing how we could apply things that we learned a long time ago to new things today.
Wants to Know: How can we measure the moon?
