Depth Perception
Source Institutions
In this easy demonstration (3rd on the page), learners explore depth perception by conducting a test with two pencils.
Supernova Star Maps
Source Institutions
This fun astronomy activity allows learners to experience finding stars in the night sky that will eventually go supernova. This activity is perfect for a star party outdoors.
Right Ear/Left Ear
Source Institutions
In this activity (4th on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their ears is more dominant.
