STUDENT PROJECT
FLIP CARDS
April 5, 2001
Show the passage of a simple wave from surface to surface, drawn on a series of small cards stapled together.  When you flip them with your thumb, the movement of the wave becomes animated.
For practice, try to animate a bouncing ball on a hard floor.
 
 
 
 
 

For the more adventurous, try making flip cards demonstrating the formation of a neutron, or its decay, or the formation and stabilization of a proton.

The cards should be made from stiff paper and about 1.25" x 2".  As many as thirty layers should be attempted for prolonged action.
