Apparent Motion Flip Books: Materials:
Procedure:
5. Repeat this entire pattern (making a series of "animated dots" going up and down along the right edge of the cards) until you reach the end of the stack. 6. On the second stack, again draw a small circle on the top card on the far-right end of the top line. On the next card in the stack, draw a similar-size circle just as far to the right, but four line spaces down (skipping three line spaces). On the next card, draw a circle four line spaces down from the previous circle. If your cards do not have lines, draw a circle on the top card ¼ inch from the top of the card, on the second card 1¼ inch from the top, and on the third card, 2¼ inch from top of the card. 7. Then, on the next card in that stack, draw a circle (just as far to the right) four line spaces up from the previous circle (again skipping three line spaces, or 1 inch up if the cards have no lines), and continue this until you reach the top of a card. 8. Repeat this entire pattern until you reach the end of the second stack.
9. Neatly stack each deck. Tap the circled edge of each card stack on a flat surface so that none of the cards' edges are sticking out (or in) from the rest in the stack. 10. Clip a binder clip on the opposite edge of each stack. Then check it out and make adjustments! Have fun!
