 Welcome back to Kids Fun Science. My name is Ken. Today's experiment is how do animals see in this world? As always, adult supervision is required. What you need for this experiment is an egg carton, paper, scissors, skewer, and a helpful volunteer. We have two different experiments today. The first one is going to be with a piece of paper. Thanks. My name is Grace and we are going to be seeing how animals see. So we're going to take this piece of paper, and we'll have the dimensions on there. It's 11 inches by three and a half inches, and we cut out a little spot right here for your nose. And then what we're going to do is put it against your face and then stay that way. And then you're going to grab each side and pull it forward. Keep going forward. And now can you see out of one eye over here? Can you look at me? Can you see? Can you look up the other eye? It's not weird. Can you see out of each eye? So that's how animals see, right? So they are able to have their eyes on the side and they're able just to see from one side to the other. Maybe look for danger and then the other side to look at, you know, maybe something to eat, right? So now you can see how you got to keep that against your forehead and then there. And now can you try to look over this way? Isn't that weird? See, now if you pull it down and you look forward, just pull the paper off. Now, how do you see the difference? How do you kind of see everything three-dimension? Isn't that weird? All right. And that's how we see it with animals. That's how animals see in this experiment so you can actually use individual eyes. I'm over here. All right. So what's happening here is grays can see in two different directions. Why the position of animal eyes change over time suits their needs. Our eyes are placed up front, which gives us a binocular vision and depth perception. This is what's vital for an animal that once swings through the trees. Animals like horses and rabbits have eyes high and on the side of their heads. This lets them see nearly 360 degrees as well as far about their head. They have a small blind spot directly in front of their face, but the forward spaced nostrils in the big ears make up for that. Chameleons see in different directions at the same time. This is why they can catch danger out of one eye and search for food with the other eye. Here's the second experiment we're going to do with an egg carton. So this is what it looks like, right? A little left center, right? Yeah. So you might want to put your hand underneath. Just put it against the table. There you go. All the way through. Perfect. And then the same with the other. So now we have two of these that have holes so you can see both ways and they're off center. They're not in the center and then you're going to put those over your eyes and we're going to see at the same time you're going to hold them both over your eyes and then see how you can see. Smaller. Can you see like different directions? Yeah. All right. It's like one side is the like trees and the other is like the sky. So you're not seeing one thing, you're seeing two different things? Yeah. Isn't that weird? Like I can see you and then I can see the trees. So you see just like a like a lizard or a gecko, right? Yeah. And that's their perspective. They can see one side of like I said earlier for food and the other side for maybe like for something to eat or for prey or danger, right? Yes. Could that be hard to walk like that you think? A little bit? Yeah. All right. Cool. That's the second part of the experiment. Yeah. And this is what it looks like and you can make them real easy.
