The optical illusion project required my team and I to choose a certain optical illusion to replicate. We had to work as a team to learn everything there was to know about how the illusion worked. In this illusion, each individual team member had to research and explain the science behind the optical illusion to a specific age group. I had to use the information learned in class to give a brief explanation of the illusion. However, to successfully explain the illusion, I had to research the illusion and related parts of the human eye to explain it in more detail. I, myself, had to understand how light and color venture through the optic nerve and into the brain. The project helped me develop investigative skills I needed to properly explain the illusion. Doing further research about how the Negative After Image illusion worked really helped me develop those investigative, researcher skills. My favorite part of the project was challenging myself to learn something new. Going further into what I had learned. Learning how the Negative After Image worked was a fun way to exercise my investigative skills and enhance my learning. That way, when the time came to teach others the ways of the illusion, I successfully delivered a simple and entertaining explanation.
