This Pathway will use exhibits to investigate how we see things. Some exhibits, like Seeing Details or Peripheral Vision, address the physical parts of the eye. Other exhibits, Subjective Colors or Count the Bounces, demonstrate the power of your brain to transform what your eyes see. However, there are still many things we don’t understand about what we see or don’t see, as demonstrated in the exhibit Disappearer.
This Pathway deliberately asks students to do more thinking and experiencing than writing while they are at the museum. Your students’ time at the Exploratorium is limited and distinct from classroom time, when they can engage in more polished writing.
