- A cardboard box
- A magnifying glass
- A piece of clear plastic
- A rubber band
- A hole punch
- A box cutter
- A pencil
Instructions:
1. Cut the cardboard box in half. The two halves of the box will be the front and back of the projector.
2. Draw a circle in the center of the front of the box. The circle should be about the same size as the magnifying glass.
3. Cut out the circle.
4. Tape the magnifying glass to the inside of the front of the box. The magnifying glass should be positioned so that the center of the lens is aligned with the center of the hole.
5. Cut a piece of clear plastic to the same size as the front of the box.
6. Tape the clear plastic to the inside of the back of the box.
7. Punch a hole in the top of the box. The hole should be about 1/2 inch in diameter.
8. Insert a rubber band through the hole. The rubber band will hold the clear plastic in place.
9. Place a piece of paper in the front of the projector. The paper will act as the screen.
10. Turn on the projector. The light from the projector will pass through the magnifying glass and the clear plastic, and it will be projected onto the paper.
You can now enjoy watching movies on your own homemade movie projector!
Here are some tips for using your movie projector:
- Place the projector in a dark room.
- Use a white sheet or piece of paper as the screen.
- The projector should be positioned so that the center of the lens is aligned with the center of the screen.
- The distance between the projector and the screen will determine the size of the image.
- You can focus the image by moving the magnifying glass closer to or further away from the paper.
