Create 3D glasses and use them to explore color, light and optics. Fool your brain into 'seeing' three dimensions on a flat surface!

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

In this activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).

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

During this hands-on activity, learners are briefly exposed to moviemaking and animation, when they create their own thaumatropes.

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.

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.

In this activity, learners make a Benham Top to explore visual illusions and optics.

In this activity, learners make an optical illusion toy from the 1800s to explore persistence of vision.

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

In this artistic activity, learners blow up a smaller picture into a larger one, by using a grid.
