Water Droplet RefractionYou have TWO DAYS to complete and hand in this project.
Today, we're going to introduce some physics into our lesson. Specifically, we will explore spherical refraction. This is the phenomenon whereby a spherical lens (in this case a water droplet) will turn whatever is behind it upside-down.
WE WILL GO TO PLANT AREAS WITHIN THE SCHOOL TO COMPLETE THIS ASSIGNMENT.
Water Droplet Refraction Assignment
Your job is to photograph a water droplet dangling from a plant leaf. If done adeptly, you will notice that whatever is in the background behind the droplet will turn upside down!
We will go to the Greenhouse for this project, and you will need a spray bottle as well as your camera!
Your goal is to take a photo where we can see the water droplet so clearly that an upside-down refraction of what is behind it is clearly visible. Take your time and shoot lots!
You may crop your images in Photoshop to help with composition.
At the end of the second day, you will hand in ONE (your best) image.
HAND IN your image directly to Classroom.
