Any good ideas for a bonus point actvity for my AP Psychology class?

Question

i only have 3 people in my class

Answer 1

this is from my Perception class I took a few years ago. Take a washer and hang it from a string on the ceiling. And take a bunch of 3-D lenses and hand one of the lenses to each person in your class. then, swing the washer in a side to side arc... ask them to place the lens in front of one of their eyes.. the "arc" the washer is making will appear to become an oval or circle.

It happens because the lens slows down the light going into that eye by a fraction of a fraction of a second.. and that slight difference is perceived by the brain and translated into motion as depth.

Pretty neat trick.

Answer 2

Interview people by asking them questions about a genetic disease (like diabetes or cancer) that might run in there family and then ask about their general health. The questions are bogus and meant to throw them off. At the end of the interview, ask them to step on a scale that is set 25 pounds too high. Record their reactions. Always an interesting experiment.

Answer 3
