SCIENCE - SEEING IS BELIEVING!!! OR IS IT???!!!
I love science! And I love making things! And I love conducting experiments!!! And in this lesson you get to do all three! Now don't worry this isn't any sort of a crazy experiment that is going to cause any sort of a danger or an explosion!!! - That's for next week!!! However, you do still have to be careful and do everything sensibly and carefully and I would recommend adult supervision.
The hand is often quicker than the eye and I have proved it with my wonderful magic in the video above! Have a watch of the video located below. Listen carefully to the instructions and then make a similar thaumotrope or phenakistoscope ... or make an entirely different one! Your pictures that you draw could perhaps follow a theme - Marvel, Liverpool, Star Wars or my personal favourite ... My Little Pony!
Mrs Massey is going to love this work as well ... at least I hope she will because she is going to be helping me!!! I wonder how much I will have to pay her?! Or maybe she will make me do extra housework!!! I already do loads!
Have fun with this lesson and I hope it doesn't make your head spin too much!!! Get it???!!!
