Thaumatrope Activity Sheets – Optical Illusion Science Project
The Thaumatrope Activity Sheets (9-Pack) bring hands-on learning to CC Cycle 3 Week 1 with a classic optical illusion experiment. These punch-out sheets allow students to construct their own working thaumatrope while exploring persistence of vision and early animation principles.
As students assemble and spin their thaumatrope, they observe how two separate images visually combine into one—demonstrating how the eye and brain process motion and sequential imagery. This engaging activity reinforces foundational concepts in light, vision, and perception while encouraging creativity and experimentation.
