  1. Alex, please try to use a burning candle in a dark room to see if it can have a significant photoing effect.

  2. This is great. What would the effects be if you changed the length of the tissue paper role or the size of the tissue box?

    Maybe a great way to introduce this project would be to discuss the history of cameras!

    Just a thought! :)

  5. Would it have made a difference to use different kinds of paper or material, or does the length matter? Great job!

  9. Great job! What could you have done to make the image easier to see? Would the type of paper make a difference, or size of cardboard tube? Great pictures...they show each step very well :)

  10. Great job Alex! I did this in my photography class in high school. It was interesting, and I like how the object is flipped! Great conversation starter for how cameras actually work!

  13. This was a great project. I wonder if changing the "object" would change the clarity of the image. Ex. a glass vase vs. words.

  14. It may have worked if the room was dark and pointed it at a lamp. Great job constructing the camera itself. Students will enjoy decorating their cameras and having fun with it.
