Natural Illusions

The main goal of studying NOS is to give students real experiences that characterize the search for answers that scientists experience.

Today we discussed illusions and illusions in science. Some examples are : mirages, sun rise/set, size of the moon, lightning, rainbows...etc

To demonstrate illusions and try to deduce their origins, we did a short activity call the "t-illusion". The intentions is to help students realize how scientists try to reveal  the reality behind natural illusions.
