Hi, my name is Parker

2
00:00:02.043 --> 00:00:06.297
and I'm going to teach you
how to make a box pinhole projector.

3
00:00:07.716 --> 00:00:11.553
To get started, you'll need a
cardboard box -

4
00:00:11.553 --> 00:00:13.888
cereal boxes or shoeboxes

5
00:00:13.888 --> 00:00:14.806
work great.

6
00:00:14.806 --> 00:00:19.644
You’ll also need scissors, aluminum
foil, a pencil,

7
00:00:20.186 --> 00:00:23.648
a push pin, some tape and
a white piece of paper

8
00:00:23.648 --> 00:00:26.651
big enough to cover one end of the box.

9
00:00:28.611 --> 00:00:32.949
Start by tracing one end of
the box on the white

10
00:00:32.949 --> 00:00:34.034
sheet of paper.

11
00:00:35.201 --> 00:00:36.870
Then cut out your shape

12
00:00:37.662 --> 00:00:41.207
and place it inside of the box
on the same end

13
00:00:41.207 --> 00:00:42.959
you just traced.

14
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:44.878
Next,

15
00:00:44.878 --> 00:00:49.340
cut two square holes on the
opposite end of the box.

16
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.802
One on the left and one on the right.

17
00:00:52.969 --> 00:00:55.555
If you're using a cereal box,

18
00:00:55.555 --> 00:00:58.058
tape up the middle to help everything

19
00:00:58.058 --> 00:00:59.309
stay together.

20
00:01:00.226 --> 00:01:02.937
Now, cover one of the square holes

21
00:01:02.937 --> 00:01:05.690
completely with aluminum foil.

22
00:01:06.691 --> 00:01:09.819
Use tape to help the foil stay in place.

23
00:01:10.779 --> 00:01:13.782
Finally, take the push-pin and punch

24
00:01:13.782 --> 00:01:18.203
a very small hole in the center
at the aluminum foil.

25
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:20.038
Ta-daa!

26
00:01:21.247 --> 00:01:22.791
Always remember

27
00:01:22.791 --> 00:01:25.960
you should never look directly at the Sun,

28
00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:28.129
because it's very dangerous

29
00:01:28.129 --> 00:01:29.798
and will hurt your eyes.

30
00:01:30.090 --> 00:01:33.426
To use your box pinhole projector,

31
00:01:33.593 --> 00:01:36.596
stand with your back to the Sun.

32
00:01:37.013 --> 00:01:39.933
Then hold the large square hole

33
00:01:39.933 --> 00:01:43.061
up to your eye and move the box around

34
00:01:43.061 --> 00:01:46.272
until you see the sun projected
on the paper.

35
00:01:47.649 --> 00:01:50.902
Watching a solar eclipse is a great way

36
00:01:50.902 --> 00:01:55.990
for anyone to do science.
But remember, you have to be careful.

37
00:01:56.157 --> 00:01:57.325
Stay safe.

38
00:01:57.492 --> 00:01:59.327
Happy eclipse watching!
