In this activity, learners conduct a simple test to find their blind spot.

Create an illusion where it appears that your hand has a hole in it. You'll see the results from when one eye gets conflicting information.

Experience a spinning spiral...you won't be hypnotized, but you'll see what happens when you look away. It's like getting off a merry-go-round and everything keeps moving.

Up close, an array of dots could look random, but take a step back, and an image forms. By tracing over an image, learners can create their own dot based image.

Which one of your eyes are dominant? Do they act independently or are they equally "in control?" This activity explores how your eyes work (or don't work) together.

Do you have a hard time matching paint swatches with your furniture? When you consider human perception, color is context dependent.

This science activity demonstrates the dominant eye phenomena. What does your brain do when it sees two images that conflict?

In this activity, learners discover that it is difficult to trace a curve by using its reflection in a mirror. Use this activity to discuss how the brain works.

In this activity, learners control the (apparent) size of a hole with their brain.

This mirror-tracing activity related to proprioception is a visual and motor test that involves learning a new motor skill.

In this activity related to light and perception, learners use a pinhole in an index card as a magnifying glass to help their eye focus on a nearby object.

In this activity, learners use a simple trick of perspective to dress friends in tiny cutout clothing. Learners make tiny pants out of card stock and tape them to the end of a stick.

In this activity, learners will make a thaumatrope, an old-fashioned optical illusion that dates back to the 1820s.

In this activity, learners make a stroboscope--a spinning disk with slits around the edge that you look through.
