Pinhole Cameras

Class 4 made pinhole cameras they work by passing light from a torch through a pinhole in a shoebox and projecting the image on the torch onto a screen [grease proof paper]. This image is upside down [in the same way our eyes work]. This only works if it is completeley dark.
We painted our shoeboxes black inside and then made a hole in one side of the box. On the other we cut a rectangle out and covered the whole with grease proof paper. Altogether, we had a great time.

Thank you for reading.
