Write a journal entry from the perspective of a particle of light, called a photon. Your story should follow the photon as it
travels from a star in the Milky Way that is 25 light years away
from Earth, all the way to the eye of a young person gazing up
at the night sky through their bedroom window. Compose your
entry in complete sentences.

Be sure to answer these questions in your journal entry:
• How long was the journey to Earth?
• How fast did you travel?
• Was your speed affected when you entered Earth’s atmosphere?
If so, how?
• Was your speed affected when you traveled through the glass
of the window? If so, how?
• What was the journey like to get to the retina?
