Purpose: To gain attention and demonstrate the image formed by a plane mirror.

Locate the mirror cube so that the mirror faces the class. Place one foot inside the cube in front of the mirror and the other foot inside behind the mirror. (Be sure to put the front one in first.) Bend your knees somewhat, keeping your legs parallel and equal distances from the mirror. Flap your arms to pretend to fly, or pretend to lift yourself with your index finger pushing down on a corner of the cube. As you do this, slowly lift the "front" foot while not moving either knee. To the class, you will appear to lift off the floor.
