To make a pinhole projector, you will need the following materials:
- A small cardboard box or paper tube
- A piece of white paper or cardstock
- Aluminum foil
- Tape
- Scissors
- A pin, needle, or sharpened pencil
Here's how to make a pinhole projector:
1. Take your cardboard box, cereal box, or paper tube and cut a small square hole in one side of it.
2. Cover the square hole with aluminum foil and secure it in place with tape.
3. Use a pin or needle to poke a small hole in the center of the aluminum foil.
4. Tape a piece of white paper or cardstock to the inside of the opposite side of the box or tube, directly across from the pinhole.
5. To use the pinhole projector, stand with your back to the sun and hold the box or tube up to your face with the pinhole facing the sun. The image of the sun will be projected onto the white paper inside the box or tube.
Remember to never look directly at the sun through the pinhole projector as it can cause serious damage to your eyes.
