Students construct a pinhole camera in order to explain the basic property of the inversion of light. A well-designed and effective instructional activity.

Ninth graders construct a pinhole camera using the materials provided. They are able to describe how light behaves in the process of image formation in a pinhole camera with 100% accuracy.

In this light activity, students construct a pinhole viewer using a paper box, wax paper, tape and a pushpin. They answer six questions about their observations, the orientation of the images they saw, and the results of their experiment.

Students explore light, and how it travels in straight path, recognize that light-sensitive chemical processes can be used to create images using light as catalyst, discover that light can be refracted by convex lens to focus camera,...

Students read about and discuss photographic principles and, under the direction of the art teacher, construct individual cameras from heavy black cardboard and thin sheet metal with a hole for the lens and black tape for the shutter.

Learners explore constant motion. Using photography equipment and a dark room, students develop photographs that depict motion. Learners demonstrate the proper use of photograph equipment.
