Making the Wisconsin Dells Magic Show Educational
13 08 2007The magic show at Wisconsin Dells also offers a number of educational opportunities. Discussing the “magic” of slight of eye is particularly fun as you discuss the concept of persistence of vision.
In short, persistence of vision is about the fact that our eyes maintain images for a brief moment even after they are no longer there. Remember those flip books you used to enjoy as a child? You know, the ones that contained nothing but pictures and appeared to be in action when you flipped through the pages quickly These books utilize the concept of persistence of vision.
Before you go to the magic show at Wisconsion Dells on your family vacation, discuss this concept with your child. Then, help your child make his or her own flip book. It can be a great deal of fun for the entire family!
