For the time and space project I wanted to look more into the dilation of eyes. I was really curious to why the eye dilates in the dark. We started out with using the micro camera to record Griffins eye and took pictures of Isabell picture #1, Griffin picture #2 and mine #3. The micro camera allows you to zoom into the eye really closely and catches the pupil getting bigger. We learned that the main reason for an eye to dilate is to allow more light in to the eye. Here is the link to research we did. I really enjoyed the results to our experiment, because even though it was a little blurry you could still see the pupil clearly dilate. The main question that we were curious about was just why do pupils get bigger in the dark and we received the answer to this question by using this website http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/why-do-your-pupils-get-bigger-in-the-dark/ I worked with Annika for this project and as usual I strongly feel like we made a good team. We both contribute a lot of different talents to our project and it allows us to get desirable results.If I were to do this experiment again I would make the video more clear and maybe try to use different lighting to see how it affects the eye. I am also pretty curious to how the eye and the brain connect. How the eyes actually see and what part of the brain this uses. If i were to continue this project I would try to research more on that question. This is the link to our amazing video:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=963Ed2kIph8
