Persistance of Vision and Movies

[alex o]

Hi,
This is my last science fair in elementray shcool and I wouuld like to do something different.
Last year I did an experiment on the Mpemba effect and ice hockey, I won an award for best presentation.
This year I would like to a experiment about how we see still pictures move. I read about movie projectors,
TV and animation in a book named The Way Things Work.
I would like to build a zoetrope or use flip card animation to show that we can see still pictures move.
I am not sure how to make this an experiment using scientific method to answer a question.
I read that movies use 24 frames a second so that we can see still pictures move.
Maybe I could do a experiment with frames per second.
I need help making my idea into a experiment, please help!

Thank you, Brendan
