    This student worksheet provides instructions for building a camera obscura and projector using various materials like a lens, back screen, and LED. It then asks students to label the parts, draw images, and explain examples of light being reflected, absorbed, or refracted. Students are also prompted to evaluate ideas to improve the projector, such as using different colored markers on plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or blue paper. Finally, students are challenged to test different materials to see if they can improve image projection.

    Camera Obscura and Projector

    You used different parts to make a camera obscura and then turn it into a projector, including:
    Lens Back Screen • • LED Picture
    LED stand

    • •

    1. Camera Obscura

    A camera obscura lets you see the image of an object in


    front of you on a screen at the back of the camera.

    We have drawn a person in front of your camera obscura.

    1. Draw and label the parts that make the camera obscura work.
    2. Draw the image that you see.

    2. Projector
    A projector lets you project a picture from inside the camera
    onto a screen or surface in front of the camera.

    We have drawn a screen in front of your projector.

    1. Draw and label the parts that make the projector work.
    2. Draw the image that you see.

    The camera obscura or projector worked because you were able to control where light was reflected (bounced back),
    absorbed (trapped), or refracted (bent).

    3. Give one example (in either a camera obscura or projector) of where light is:
    Reflected: ____________________________________________________________________________
    ____________________________________________________________________________
    Absorbed: ____________________________________________________________________________
    ____________________________________________________________________________
    Refracted: ____________________________________________________________________________
    ____________________________________________________________________________

    4. Eli wanted to improve his projector by drawing his picture on a different material. He bought permanent
    markers that will draw on any material. For each idea, tell whether you think he could project a clearer or brighter
    image by drawing his picture in this way. Tell why you think so.

    • If he drew on a piece of clear plastic (like plastic wrap) with orange and yellow markers:

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________

    • If he drew on a piece of aluminum foil with orange and yellow markers:

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________

    • If he drew on a piece of thick blue paper with black markers:

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________

    5. How would you improve your projector? Think of one idea and tell why you think it would help you project a
    clearer, brighter image.

    What’s next? (A challenge….)


    • Conduct an investigation to test Eli’s ideas. Choose three or more materials that you would like to test.
    Design a procedure that will help you test whether using a different material can improve your projection.
    Conduct your investigation and report your findings.
