Cameras and light

It was so cool watching the flashlight go around in the dark, and seeing people's shadows while Mr. H. was taking pictures. We also got to hear the click of the shutter on the camera. - Jenna

In the tech lab, we were swinging a flashlight around, and it got really funny because the shadows of the people looked really funny. - Logan

In Science we were learning about light, and we went into the tech lab with the flashlight. We turned off all the lights, and Mr. H. took pictures of us doing crazy movements waving the flashlight. - Kyra

As we get close to wrapping up our Science unit on light, we looked at cameras and how they worked today. First, our friends Tim and Moby from BrainPOP explained how film and digital cameras worked, in one of their awesome 3-4 minute videos (you can watch this video here). After talking about how shutters on a camera work (the students listed to the difference between a shutter opening and closing in low and bright light - ask them about it!), and looking at some images of streaking headlights and taillights, we went into the computer lab (which has no external windows) to make our own light -streaking photos. I should have them all ready to share on our blog next week. Until then, scroll down for a preview!
