Description
A hands-on learning resource designed for KS2 students aged 7-11. Students create a phenakistoscope, a spinning device that produces a continuously looping animation from a sequence of still images. Learners explore how animation works through concepts such as frames, frame rate, fractions, and motion while using simple materials to build their own device. The resource combines making activities with maths and geometry, helping students understand how films and animations create the illusion of movement through rapidly changing images.
