Mr. Solarz' Reflection Questions:
    1. Can you feel it when your pupils dilate?
    2. Do you have any control over your pupils when         they dilate?
    3. What do we call this when a reflex happens             without our control?
    4. Why do our pupils get bigger in the dark and             smaller in the light?
    5. How does this reflex protect our eyes?

My Answers:
    1. I can't feel when my pupils dilate. I think this is         partly because I cannot control it.
    2. As I said before, this is a reflex beyond my                 control. It is called an involuntary reflex.
    3. As I said before, this is called an involuntary             reflex. We cannot control it, like our involuntary         muscles.
    4. Our pupils get bigger in the dark because it allows     more light in. They get smaller in the light to allow     less. This allows us to see without hurting our eyes.
    5. This reflex protects our eyes by not allowing our     eyes to burn out. Letting too much light in in a             bright room hurts the eye.
