A small card with a dot and an X is held at arm's length and used to show youngsters where their blind spot is. This illuminating little activity is a compact addition to your lesson on the structure of the eye as it explains the part of...

Viewers use a small, dimmed flashlight to identify the blind spot for both the right and left eye. It is a simple activity to incorporate into your activities during a lesson on vision and the structure and function of the eyeball.

Applying engineering concepts to the field of medicine, pupils design a device to help test peripheral sight. The class learns and follows a specific design process for engineers before separating into groups; each group builds...

Using a dimmed flashlight, life science learners can see the network of blood vessels that line the back of their eye. Darken the room and let them try this activity as part of your unit on the eyeball. Also consider some of the other...

Young poets are asked to craft a poem in the voice of a first person narrator, a dramatic monologue of sorts, that reveals not only a dramatic situation but something of the narrator's character as well.

The blind spot in human vision is described and illustrated.

Did you know that there is a part of your eye that does not give you any visual information? In this activity learn about this part of the retina called the "blind spot".

Take this little test about the blind spot, then click on the red "explanation" button at the bottom of the page to find out what you just experienced.

Discover the blind spot in the human eye with a simple experiment, then alter the experiment to discover the size and shape of your blind spot.

In this service-learning engineering project, students follow the steps of the engineering design process to design a hearing testing device. More specifically, they design a prototype machine that can be used to test the peripheral...

Try this experiment where you examine the blood vessel network of your retina and the eye's blind spot. Includes a safety precaution.
