Thomas Edison and the Kinetoscope

In Natural Science we study Electricity and Inventions. Thomas Edison invented lots of things, not just the light bulb. One interesting one was the kinetoscope, the world's first movie camera. 

Thomas Edison (1847- 1931). He invented the light bulb and many other things, including the machine in the pictures: the kinetoscope. The name comes from the Greek words "kineto" meaning movement, and "scopos" meaning "to watch." This machine was the first motion picture camera.

Annie Oakley (1860-1926).  She was famous for her shooting skills and travelled with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.

Here is a video about how Edison made his films in his studio:





And here are more of his films:
