Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum, and I'm hoping to get some help. My son spontaneously came up with an experiment that we are turning into his science fair project. He wanted to know what the black part of his eye was for, and when I explained that the pupil controls how much light gets into the eye, he had to try it out. He used a bright light to watch his pupil constrict, and he then turned out the light to watch his pupil expand.

He's very interested in the human body and how it works. I've been trying to come up with a catchy name for his project. I've thought of something like: How do changes in light affect our eyes? ... But that seems so direct and rather boring.

Any ideas would be greatly welcomed!

Thanks,

Joanna

Hi Joanna,

Sounds like you have a future scientist on your hands! Some catchy names that come to mind are "A Bright Idea: How does light affect our eyes?" or "Lights, Camera, Action!: How does light affect our eyes?"

Good luck,

Audrey

Hi Audrey,

Thank you for your suggestion. After doing a little research we changed his topic slightly, but I absolutely LOVED your second suggestion. The title we are going to use is

Lights, Camera, Action!
How does shining a light in one eye affect the other?

It fits perfect with the theme we were planning to use anyway.

Thanks again!

Joanna
