Abstract

An investigative laboratory based on experiments with the blind spot can be adapted for students at almost any level of preparation. We have used it to introduce experimental science to students with no previous college science background. It also works well, however, with advanced students who are capable of a more sophisticated analysis and interpretation of their results.
