Pat. Thanks for the info. Kodak is trying to sell film. Digital cameras are much more useful since results can be displayed immediate and input to the web.
Similar projects here are done in school and be environmental organizations etc. on weekends. Instead, I like the idea of using a millimetre of rain in a square meter since it can be related directly to the commonly used units of measurement of length, mass and volume - millimetre, litre, kilogram, cubic metre, tonne etc. What would be impressive is taking 10 mm of water spread over an square metre in a tub and putting it into litre bottles. This would visibly show the relationship of water spread out over a thin area vs. put into bottles. It is somewhat more manageable for instruction purposes. Nice idea though.
