Hello, dear colleagues and fellow teachers!
Why not using the pin hole camera for enhancing and pedagogically improving your art and natural science lessons?

This pin hole camera kid has been mainly designed for teachers with curriculums in natural science and art for their support to facilitate the understanding of basic principles in optics (learning by doing) and to provide an easily available camera for photographic art lessons: Utilise stimulating photographic techniques and the rather interesting picture developing work in the dark room as a motivation boost!
The pedagogical opportunities of the camera obscura also contain the practical approach to the mathematics of equations of ratios and similiar triangles.

Teaching problems today: Students and pupils nowadays have diminishing concrete knowledge about natural phenomena since they only experience technology in form of „magic boxes“ which have been designed as foolproof tools for every day use rarely allowing for deeper physical insight.
How may the basic principles of and the complex connections within the natural sciences be taught to often socially impoverished pupils and students under the constraint of overloaded curriculums.

The understanding of the imaging phenomena of a pin hole camera through ones own visual senses and recognising the complete process of taking, developing and fixing pictures under the individual supervision of the students through presenting explainations and problem structuring aid paves the way for an exhaustive and life-long education in this subject for any student with any psychological learning characteristics.

No time? You decide whether your students just tick the points in your curriculum or if they may have the opportunity to be educated in something for life.
The time requirements can be substantially reduced, if you employ this camera obscura kit with ready cut and grooved edges instead of passing on the modelling tasks to students or their parents; only the for the learning process significant tasks are performed by the students themselves. After just little time of folding and sticking together of the camera parts your students are ready for visualizing images on the focussing screen and taking pictures with the, with good value 9x13 photographic paper, loaded film compartment.

Teaching suggestions with comments to the diverse use of the pin hole camera sets and many hints for the first lessons, which have been developed and tested through long-standing teaching experiences, are enclosed. A specific teacher pin hole camera kit has been developed, in order to give you as an instructor the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the pin hole camera set without interference from your students. Small quantities of photographic materials can be also ordered through this mail order business, in case that photographic paper or chemicals may not be already available for your school’s darkroom.
New: Art teacher and their students can take pictures with 9x12 orthochromatic half tone photographic film, observe under dark-red safe light the negative film developing, and produce reversed positive images by making contact prints on photographic paper.
