Camera Obscura

Today we recreated the camera obscura with Pringles tubes. Firstly we cut the Pringles tube into 2 and put tissue paper around the shorter half and sealed it in with the Pringles cap. We then stuck the halves together with masking tape. After that we made a small hole with a pin at the bottom of the shorter half. Finally we made the room dark and poked our Pringles tube through the blinds with the pinhole facing the window. We saw the whole of outside upside down, however it didn't work that well as it wasn't a sunny day and didn't produce enough light to get a good recreation of the camera obscura.
