Thaumatropes

A thaumatrope is not that hard to make. You take 2 pictures on paper (one is a background and the other is an object) and glue them or tape them onto a piece of thin poster board. (The pictures are on separate pieces.) Tape the pictures to a pencil and tape the edges together.

When you roll the pencil back and forth in your hands, you can make it look as if the fish is on the background. Why? When you roll it in your hands the pictures are going too fast for your brain to process the two pictures separately so it combines the pictures. That is my science experiment.

The Currier Art Museum  

The Currier Art Museum is SO COOL! It has paintings, sculptures, pottery, statues, furniture, and lots more! There is a glass ball collection with things like chickadees and butterflies, a sculpture that if there was enough wind would move, and a bench called Please Be Seated that Isabelle accidently sat on! We (my class, Mrs. Mcnelly’s class) and Mrs. Gerard’s class got to see all of this! I liked the Currier Art Museum.



My Blog

 Hello my name is Kerstin.  

I like to climb trees, and swim. I am constantly making a big lean-to and a dam. My   favorite color is red and my favorite food is spaghetti. I don’t have a favorite book because I like so many. I like going camping in my backyard. I like my school.
