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

In this online activity, learners make a whole rainbow by mixing red, green, and blue light. They can change the wavelength of a monochromatic beam or they can filter white light.

This is a series of three quick science activities to do with a spoon, knife, and fork. In the first two activities, learners use the flatware to explore optics, mirrors, reflection, and distortion.

In this quick activity, Dracula has a hole in his house and learners help solve the problem by using a mirror and protractor to reflect incoming light out of his house.

In this exercise (Activity #2 on page), learners test their distance vision to evaluate their overall eyesight.

In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out why two eyes are better than one!

In this activity (6th on the page), learners investigate how photoreceptors in the eye (rods and cones) "adapt" to low light conditions.

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

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