MAGIC SCHOOL BUS GHOST SERIES
I am now officially in love with this series of books. The kids had a great time moving the toys around, and creating "ghostly" hands, grabbing at them.Īnd, in the process, they got a lesson in optics, history, and the theater. I won't give you a step by step on building the project, because Torrey's instructions seem to be unique, but the idea behind the illusion is to reflect an lit image, not seen by the audience, through a piece of glass (or in our case Plexiglas). Torrey not only has easy to follow instructions for making one, and a short Doyle and Fossey story to go with it, but a child-friendly history lesson about Professor John Henry Pepper, the 19th century scientist, who created the "holographic", stage ghost illusion, which is still known today as "Pepper's ghost".Īll that we needed to build our own holographic machine, was an old (and somewhat decorated) cardboard box, a piece of Plexiglas (I have an one, taken from a poster picture frame, that I keep around for experiments), some black construction paper, a flash light, some scissors, and a couple toys (we used Lego men, and a sheep finger puppet). I've been looking for a project like this - though I'd been searching for "holograms for kids", since we watched The Magic School Bus Gets a Bright Idea (you can find that episode, here, on ). But, when it arrived in at the library, last night, and I flipped through the experiments in the back, I nearly nerded out with excitement to see a simple, "Pepper's ghost" in a box project.
I hadn't actually planned on doing any "ghost" projects with the children this season, and I really hadn't intended on mentioning another book in this series, so soon. I am unaware of how or where they may have been stored prior to coming into my possession, so please bear that in mind before purchasing, if you are concerned about allergies or sensitivities.We managed to descarify (I'm officially declaring that to be a word), another bit of Halloween imagery, thanks to some help from Michele Torrey, and The Case of the Graveyard Ghost. Now her only hope is a farm that's supposedly haunted. It is my hope to find homes for these items with those who will appreciate not only their age and history, but any character flaws as well. Wanda's been so busy planning this year's Fall Fun Feast that she forgot about the food.
