With a little light and a lot of time, you can create some amazing images. This NASA-related task instructs pupils to build a pinhole camera. The lesson provides suggestions for different pictures to try with the pinhole camera...

Students make a pinhole camera and see the effects that light travelling in straight lines have on images.

Students make a pinhole camera and see the effects of light travelling in straight lines have on images.

Ninth graders produce a lithographic negative from a pinhole camera and solve problems if light leaks appear on the negative. They are able to describe and use lab safety procedures presented in class.

Pupils are introduced to the basic straight line pattern of travel that light takes. A cereal box and wax paper provide the pinhole camera that captures the light's inverted image. Shifting this pattern provides additional challenges.

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

Students investigate how light travels. In this optic science lesson plan, students discover that light travels in a straight line through a laser pointer demonstration. Students also study how pinhole cameras work by considering how...

Students explore light.  In this light wave physics lesson, students construct periscopes, kaleidoscopes, color wheels, and pinhole cameras.  Students observe and record characteristics of light demonstrated through the use of...

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.

Ninth graders produce an image from a negative created with a pinhole camera using the provided materials and create a test strip in 5 second increments to determine the exposure time for a final print.

Take a peep into optics. Pupils watch a video about a large Polaroid camera before building pinhole viewers. The scholars then create different types of viewers and compare them to determine which provides the best image.

Young scholars construct a pinhole camera using their knowledge of the physics of light. This interdisciplinary activity give students hands-on experience in understanding the production and processing of photographic images.

Super science learners examine the sun's production of energy by the process of nuclear fusion. Hands-on activities make this instructional activity engaging for middle schoolers. The instructional activity is made up of four parts. Part...

Step aside, fancy glasses... it's time to create a solar eclipse viewing camera of your own using nothing more than a milk carton. 

In this light worksheet, 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,...

In this chambered nautilus instructional activity, students read a 2 page article, define 10 vocabulary words and answer 7 short answer questions in complete sentences.

Young scholars examine what a sunspot is and how it is produced.  In this sun lesson students locate and measure sunspots then view them through a camera.

Students explore the solar cycle through a series of experiments. In this space science lesson, students construct and evaluate solar cycle graphs. They explain how this phenomenon affects the Earth.

Students make a pinhole viewer to demonstrate how it inverts light passing through it which produces inverted images.

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.
