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

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.

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.

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