The Camera Obscura.
This image shows you how a camera obscura works. Light reflects off objects (like the tree) and travels in a straight line through the hole in the side of a box. The image on the inside then appears upside down.
Abelardo MorrellThis video on the right shows Abelardo Morrell creating a camera abscura in a hotel room. He makes the room completely dark by taping black sheets to the windows. He then cuts small hole so that you can see a little bit of light and an upside down image appears on the opposite side. The reason for this is because light travels in straight lines.
