What Experiments Can Test the Bio Aspect of Sight?

[Euphoriet]

What possible experiments (not college level).. can you think off where the bio aspect of sight can be "tested" on.. anything from colorblindness.. to the blind spot... someone suggested getting a cow eye .. not sure if I will be able to get a hold of one here in San Diego though.

(I also need stuff for chem and physics.. but I think there is a lot of things that can be done for that).

I just thought of all those crazy "visual tricks" all over the internet.. if anyone knows where I can find a lot of them.. and perhaps some explanations as to why they affect us the way they do... that would be great.

I am excited to hear that you are interested in exploring the bio aspect of sight through experimentation. There are many possible experiments that can be conducted to test different aspects of sight, such as colorblindness and the blind spot.

For colorblindness, you could design an experiment where participants are shown a series of color-coded images and asked to identify the colors. By varying the colors and patterns used, you can test different types of colorblindness and determine the extent of their color vision deficiency.

To explore the blind spot, you could design an experiment where participants are shown a series of images with hidden objects in the blind spot. By measuring the distance at which the object becomes visible, you can determine the size and location of the blind spot for each participant.

As for obtaining a cow eye for experimentation, I would suggest reaching out to local farms or butcher shops to see if they can provide you with one. Alternatively, you could purchase a preserved cow eye from a scientific supply company.

In terms of incorporating chemistry and physics into the experiments, you could explore the role of light and optics in vision. For example, you could investigate how different light sources affect color perception or how lenses and mirrors can manipulate vision.

In terms of chemistry, you could explore the chemical reactions involved in vision, such as the conversion of light energy into electrical signals in the eye. You could also investigate the effects of certain chemicals, such as drugs or toxins, on vision.

Overall, there are many exciting possibilities for experimentation in the field of sight. I would encourage you to do some further research and consult with a science teacher or mentor to help you design and conduct safe and effective experiments.
