Light Show!

Just recently i finished a project for scimatics that proved the law of reflection. Let me explain..

So first for a few weeks we were doing workbooks learning about the law of reflection/Pythagorean theory and the math behind it. Then my teacher, Mr. Harris, told us that we would be working with electronics (lasers to be more specific) so we got paired into groups, i got paired with Luca, Kira B, Frankie, Mackenzie, and myself. So we chose a theme and we chose the sky. Luca was doing   all the engineering, me and frankie worked on the  decorations, Kira helped Luca with the electronics, and Mackenzie helped make  some clouds.
(I’m totally keeping the sun and clouds)

The day of the presentation we were brought into the other scimatics classroom and we put down our project. The other teacher, Mr. Gross, sprayed canned smoke on the laser triangles  and you could see the lines really well! But for our light something went wrong somewhere and the light was weaker than everyone else’s.  you might need to turn up the brightness on your device if you can to see the details in the photos.
We also made a Mindmap in MindNode with questions and thoughts and we added answers to the questions after the project ended This project was super fun to put together and I would love to try to do it again but with a stronger light or more time to make the decorations. I definitely improved with the subject because I got a better understanding on the wavelengths of lasers and the Pythagorean theory. Anyways thats my scimatics project. Until next time!
