We don't normally view people upside down and so our brains aren't accustomed to it.

This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (second activity on the page).

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?

If you had a long tube with a 5 millimeter wide slit, would you see the entire Golden Gate Bridge?

Known as the waterfall effect, this activity demonstrates adaptation in our visual system.

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

This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (fourth activity on the page). One learner stands behind a see-through barrier like a window or wire screen.

In this quick activity/demonstration (5th on the page), learners explore depth perception.

In this activity (13th on the page), learners complete a simple illusion trick to see through their own hand.

In this demonstration (18th on the page), learners conduct a simple test to explore how the cornea refracts light, which is further bent by the eye lens through a process known as accommodation.

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