In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

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

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

This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

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.

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 fun optics activity, learners explore principles of light, reflection (mirrors), and perception. Learners work in pairs and sit on opposite sides of a "two-way" mirror.
