Animation Projector
You will need:
• Paper dinner plate
• Modelling clay
• Start by cutting two slits about 4cm deep and 1cm apart at the north, south, east and west points on the paper dinner plate.
• Now, tear out the four bits of paper plate that are between the slits you've made.
• Put a loop of sticky tape onto the paper plate.
• Then take the pencil and make a hole in the centre of the plate. Press the pencil through the plate, but remember to put the modelling clay underneath to protect the work surface!
• When the hole is made, leave the pencil through it.
• You've made an animation projector!
• To make it work, you need a four picture cartoon, drawn onto a circle of card and stuck onto the flat bit of the plate.
• To see the projector work you'll need to find a well-lit mirror.
• Hold the projector in front of your face. Look at the mirror through the top slit in the plate.
• Focus on the top picture, and keep looking at it. Spin the plate, and you'll see the image animate.
