   incandescent  bulb 

Students took part in the construction of a backdrop, set up of a striker on a pendulum anchored to a ladder, and the capture of one shot of a lit light bulb being smashed.  Windows were blackened out, and students were equipped with safety glasses.  The goal of the morning was for each student to capture the exact point of impact on their camera.  We spent a great deal of time setting up our camera for speed, light and anticipation of impact.  One of our students recorded the event and edited for slow motion.  We broke five bulbs in all and captured some amazing photography in the process.-I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!!!
