In this activity, learners play with a fuzzy-colored dot that has no distinct edges seems to disappear. As learners stare at the dot, its color appears to blend with the colors surrounding it.

In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

Design and create an optical illusion toy that makes two pictures appear to become one. This is called a thaumatrope and will allow the learner to investigate the phenomenon of persistence of vision.

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