In this optics activity, learners build an animation tool to make mini movies. When you spin a phenakistascope, the pictures move so quickly that your eyes and brain can't separate the images.

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

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.

This perception trick focuses on conflicting information to the brain...instead of trying to see two images, you're trying to get a bright spot by overlapping the image you see through two tubes.

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

In this game (4th activity on the page) about hearing, learners test their ability to identify various sounds without looking.

In this activity (last activity on the page), learners make a model of the eardrum (also called the "tympanic membrane") and see how sound travels through the air.

In this easy demonstration (3rd on the page), learners explore depth perception by conducting a test with two pencils.

In this activity (16th on the page), learners play a variation of the "I Spy" game to explore color. Learners work in teams with each team assigned a color.

During this activity, learners take part in a variety of tasks which involve moving and balancing different body parts.

In this game-like activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their auditory acuity as well as the importance of having two ears.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF), learners play with a lens and a piece of paper to focus an image on the paper. Learners look at different things, and see how the lenses affect the image.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.

In this activity (17th on the page), learners investigate why you cannot see colors in dim light.
