This website from the Exploratorium provides an activity on building a powered Zoetrope, a device that produces the illusion of continuous motion from a rapid succession of still pictures.  The site contains written instructions and video clips to illustrate the construction process.  There's also a link to build a simpler Zoetrope that does not require an electric motor.
