In today’s experiment we used some coins so, we had to clean them first. We loved watching the coins getting  cleaned in the fizzy juice.

Then we closed one eye and tried to get each coin into the cup. We managed this if the cup was near. Then we tried the other eye to see if we could do better with one eye than the other.

Finally  we tried with both eyes open and  this was so much easier.

Some  of us even challenged ourselves to do the experiment with both eyes closed. This made it tricky to work out where the coins were and we had to use another sense called touch to help us out.

Like the pencil experiment we found out that using both eyes together helps us to work out the distance that objects are from us, helps us to see more accurately and we need to put less effort in to complete the task.

We were also very good at working with our partners and taking turns. We were very respectful and patient when we waited our turn and when we discussed the experiment together.
