With this Box Camera kit you can construct a box camera using the included instructions. Once you have your box camera completed, you can take real pictures using a convex lens and photographic paper. Learn how old fashioned cameras worked! Photographic paper changes color when exposed to light. This camera, like old fashioned cameras, uses this reaction to record images. However, if the light isn’t controlled, the whole paper is exposed to light and it will all just turn white. But with the use of the camera body and the lens, light is reflected in such a way to reflect whatever the camera is pointed at. Take cool pictures and experiment with moving objects like cars or people walking. Measures approximately 3.43 x 3.43 x 8.46 assembled. Includes 24 pieces of photographic paper. You will need tape and scissors. Ages 8 and up.
