This
experiment allows visitors to "freeze"
the action of a rotating string & see
how things move in waves. Follow the "Monkeys"
as monkey see, monkey do!
By adjusting the speed at which the strobe
is flashing and/or the tension of the string,
the visitor can create different visual patterns.
What's
Happening Here?
Children learn how things move in waves,
the effect of rotation and how light/flashing
light can create different visual patterns.
Discovery Questions:
What happens when you tighten/turn the
buttons? Can you make the "waves"
look bigger/smaller? How do you "freeze"/stop
the string?
