Unit 8: exposure triangle

Students will learn how the shutter speed, aperture and ISO not only work together but how they effect each other.

Students will conduct experiments where only one setting can move.
for example: taking a photo of a fast-moving of moving object such as a spinning top, balloon being punctured or water droplets. For any of these photos the student will need a fast Shutter Speed (which makes the photo dark).
Challenge: How do you get the light back?
Solution: Students must choose to either widen the Aperture (lower f-stop) or increase the ISO.

Can the student demonstrate their understanding of the relationship between three fundamental settings and obtain balance in a photo. do they demonstrate the understanding that if you change one side of the triangle, you usually have to adjust one or both of the others to keep the exposure consistent.
