PhänoMINT - 75 super cool optical illusions

PhänoMINT – this means: phenomenal experiments for curious school-age explorers. Major subject areas such as math, computer science, natural sciences, and technology are taught in a fun and easy way. Through active discovery and experimentation, children track down the scientific phenomena of our everyday lives – with a major "aha" moment included.

Spoons that seem to bend in a glass of water, four identical circles that nevertheless all look different sizes, and drawn balloons that suddenly move when you look at them: it all sounds like magic, but it is anything but. The 75 super-cool optical illusions are scientifically grounded and allow interested explorers to experience the exciting science behind the deceived perception up close and in an absolutely magical way. Because optical illusions are a helpful tool for uncovering how the human brain works and are guaranteed to amaze young researchers. In this card set, children will find 50 baffling graphics that trick the eyes, as well as 25 exciting experiments that provide surprising insights into the secrets of optical illusions – with no inexplicable magic at all, just scientific phenomena that are explained in detail and in an understandable way.
