Hi! My name is Rick Hall. I am the founder of a company called IGNITE, based in Nottingham, England. We try to get more creativity in science lessons in schools. I have been in India to explore how sound is taught in Indian schools. Today I am going to do an experiment which is all about our vision. It is called the Hole in the Hand Experiment. We just need some card and cello tape. I will show you how to make it in just a second. You just roll a piece of card into a tube and then tape the two ends to make a long, thin Card Tube. Now I have 2 tubes ready for the Hole in the Hand Experiment. Now the children hold the tube with one hand and put the other end of the tube near one eye – which is open, the other eye is closed. Then they hold the other hand next to the tube and open the second eye. By doing this they will see a Hole in the Hand. With one eye you see what is visible only at the end of the tube with the other you see the hand. And what you land up seeing is a Hole in your Hand.
