In this activity, learners construct a three-dimensional ambiguous cube to explore visual illusions and how our brains interpret or misinterpret information.

In this activity about depth perception, learners create an optical illusion in a shoe box.

In this activity, learners construct three optical illusion toys to examine how our brains play tricks on what we see.

In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.

In this activity (page 59 of the PDF), learners spin and observe false eyelashes in jars of water (prepared at least 1 day ahead of time) to investigate the effects of different types of motion on the
