Hi Lisa, You should turn the classroom into a giant camera! It's easy. Just cover the windows with light blocking material like cardboard, black plastic, (someone recently wrote about using aluminum foil), etc. Then cut a small square in a central place (a 2 inch square works well). Make apertures of different sizes & shapes out of black paper or plastic to place over the hole and see the image fill up the whole room. A 1 inch circle will do for a start, you can vary from 1/2 inch up to 2 inches. Next, add a lens to see how one of those fancy camera things work. Let the kids do all the work, it's skill building! Have a great class. Jim K www.paintcancamera.com
