In this activity, learners will make a thaumatrope, an old-fashioned optical illusion that dates back to the 1820s.

Design and create an optical illusion toy that makes two pictures appear to become one. This is called a thaumatrope and will allow the learner to investigate the phenomenon of persistence of vision.

During this hands-on activity, learners are briefly exposed to moviemaking and animation, when they create their own thaumatropes.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.
