Pinhole Viewer

If you're teaching light physics to middle school kids, you can show what happens to optical images when light passes through a pinhole aperture. Students love this experiment and it's very simple to setup. For homework, get your students to construct a simple ray diagram showing how the rays of light enter the pinhole viewer and form the image. You can also incorporate a lesson on how the human eye does the same.
