Pringles camera obscura

Last week we made camera obscuras' out of pringles tubs, we had to clean and wipe the insides of the pringle tub.








After that we had to cut the the bottom of the pringle tube and made a mark that was two inches from the bottom of the pringle tub.




We then used a pin to make a hole that was in the center of the metal end of the pringle tub so that light could go through it. The plastic lid was then used for the screen of the camera obscura, it was then put onto the smaller piece of the tube and then refitted back together.

I then I had to put tin foil to prevent any other light coming in. To hold the tin foil together I had to put masking tape so that it would stay together.


It worked better when the lights were turned off as we had been using light that was unnecessary.
