Reflection involves a source of light and a surface.
Light reflected from a surface is called reflected light.
Data loggers are electronic devices which monitor and record changes in the environment over time.
Light is measured in lux (lx) and can be recorded using a data logger.

Only mirrors and very shiny materials reflect light.

Explanation that lots of different materials reflect different amounts of light.

Reflect - To reflect light is when light hits a surface and bounces back.
Reflective - A mirror is a reflective surface. Mirrors reflect a lot of light.
Surface - The surface is the top or outside layer of something.
Data logger - Data loggers are electronic devices which monitor and record changes in the environment over time.
Lux - Lux is a unit that is used for measuring the amount of light falling on a surface.
