Jacob tackles the Jacob's Ladder! But what is it? Jacob's Ladder is a folk toy made up of blocks and held together by strings or ribbons. When the ladder is held on one end, the blocks look like they fall down the strings. Follow along as Children's Museum Houston educator, Jacob explains how this effect creates a kinetic illusion where the blocks appear to change position but do not.
