Zoetrope

The Zoetrope is the best known of several animation toys which were invented in the 19th century, a time when people first discovered ways to make still pictures move. The Zoetrope is known as 'the wheel of life'. When you place a strip of drawings inside the Zoetrope's drum, spin it, and look through the slots, you will see the images come to life. This illusion of motion depends on two things; persistence of vision and the Phi phenomenon. Available at http://www.teachersource.com/product/zoetrope/light-color
