Provides a list of equipment and instructions for taking close-up photographs for classroom use. (SK)

Described is an experiment that allows students to determine the distance to the moon by triangulation. Included is a description of parallax methods and photographic techniques. (CS)

Suggested are activities using a Polaroid camera to illustrate the capabilities of remote sensing. Reading materials from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are suggested. Methods for (1) finding a camera's focal length, (2) calculating ground dimension photograph simulation, and (3) limiting size using film resolution are…

Stereoscopic photo activities for students are described for the purpose of motivating students in earth science. Included also is the necessary equipment for obtaining the three-dimensional effect. (SA)

Outlined are photographic techniques for science instruction. Discussed are equipment, field photography, classroom photography, and aquarium photography. (SL)

Photographs of the earth taken from space are used to illustrate the advantages and application of remote sensing. This technique may be used in such areas as the immediate appraisal of disasters, surveillance of the oceans, monitoring of land, food and water resources, detection of natural resources, and identification of pollution.

In 2001, the "All Sky Camera Network" came to life as an outreach program to connect the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (DMNS) exhibit "Space Odyssey" with Colorado schools. The network is comprised of cameras placed strategically at schools throughout Colorado to capture fireballs--rare events that produce meteorites.…

Equipment and procedures for simple astrophotography are discussed. Sample photographs are provided. Suggested are several uses of the slides and the techniques for teaching astronomy. (CW)

Describes the simple construction and operation of an inexpensive photographic enlarger. (CP)

Provides background information on the equipment and knowledge necessary to do an astronomy activity on the earth's rotation. Details an activity in which students can measure the rotation of the earth using a camera and the stars. (CW)

A classroom technique for projecting microorganisms on a TV screen is described. Instructions are given with a step-by-step approach and effective subject matter is suggested. (SA)

Describes the use of a 35-millimeter camera with color slide film to produce photographs of constellations, star trails, bright comets, aurorae, and meteor showers. Discusses film speed, lenses, f-stop settings, exposure times, and other items related to astrophotographic technique; provides ideas for use of slides in the classroom. (JM)

Adapted from "Adventures in Color-Slide Photography" by Eastman Kodak is a list of practical tips on photography for teachers. (CS)

State-of-the-art digital cameras open up enormous possibilities in the science classroom, especially when used as data collectors. Because most high school students are not fully formal thinkers, the digital camera can provide a much richer learning experience than traditional observation. Data taken through digital images can make the…
