“Hi! My name is Samantha and I want to be a scientist. You may be wondering why and my answer is simple. I am amazed at all the wonderful things like television, cellular phones, men on the Moon, space exploration, and the list goes on. But those are big things and I just don’t understand everything about them yet. I also wonder about smaller things like-why do my doll’s eyes close when I lay her down and open when I pick her up. Or how are cartoons made? Hmm – I know it has something to do with Science. My brother Samuel wants to be a scientist too, but he likes things that I don’t, like-why Stalactites grow.
But even though we don’t like the same things it’s still Science so we get along just fine. In fact, our teachers help us better understand Math, technology, current events and trends - all of which are important. We even help each other and have lots of fun.

I like to experiment or take things apart to see how they work. No matter what I do, I tell my mom or dad what I am going to be doing and sometimes even ask for their help. I would never just do something. I could get hurt.  Sometimes it’s best to start small, and that’s just what I did. I remember my first experiment in detail and it was a lot of fun to do. I had to do an optical illusion. You may be wondering why that is important and all I can say is that it’s the basis for making
cartoons - and here is why. Our brains fill in the gaps for whatever our eyes aren’t processing. So two different pictures can actually become one or still images can appear to be moving.Try this experiment, it’s lots of fun and there is nothing dangerous about it. Here is what you need:

• 2 small pieces of white cardboard or index cards.  • Tape  • A pencil to be used as a shaft • Crayons, colored pencils or whatever you want to draw with

The Experiment Preparation: • Draw a large birdcage on one piece of cardboard. You are the scientist so make it look like you want. Just make it pretty big.

• On the other piece of cardboard draw a bird. Maybe a Budgie or a Toucan. Just make sure it is  smaller than the birdcage.

• Tape the pictures, back-to-back, onto the pencil shaft. The Expected Result:
• What do you think is going to happen if you spin the pencil? I can’t tell you because I did it and this is your discovery.

The Experiment: • Hold the pencil between the palms of your hands. • Rub your hands to make the picture spin around. • Of course, you have to look at the picture while it’s spinning.The Experiment Result:• You should have seen the two pictures appear as one. If you didn’t see the bird in the cage, keep
trying until you do.

That is Science! Have some fun and try different pictures.(I even put Samuel in jail once). Hey, do you want to do a little magic and make a spot on a piece of paper disappear? It’s different for each person but it does disappear. Yes, it’s Science too but let’s get to the experiment and I’ll explain the Science later.

It’s simple to set-up. Just draw a square about ¼ inch to one side of a white piece of paper and color it in. Draw a circle about 3 to 4 inches to the right that’s about the same size as the square and color it in. This is the dot you are going to make disappear. Actually you can draw two small pictures, or letters, or numbers, or whatever you want. One of them will disappear.

• After you draw them hold the paper at arm’s length.
• Close your left eye and focus on the square with your right eye.
• Slowly move the paper towards you.
• At some point the dot will disappear.
• Try it again and make the square disappear.
Close your right eye and focus on the dot with
your left eye. Move the paper towards
you until the square disappears.

It’s magic! Well, actually it is Science. You see, the spot where your optic nerve connects to your eye doesn’t have any photoreceptors. That means it is a blind spot and we all have them.
You never notice this blind spot because your two eyes work together to cover it up. Just like in the first experiment your brain fills in for the blind spot with the background.
I have a question for you. What do you think will happen if you use a colored piece of paper like red?
If you don’t know, do another experiment and see for yourself.
Science is fun and I am glad I am going to be a scientist.
Maybe you’ll decide to be one too.”
