understand these adaptation processes, close one Eyeeye and put some kind of pat

understand these adaptation processes, close one Eyeeye and put some kind of patch over it so light is not coming in. Now, goof off for about 20 minutes with the eye patch on. Be careful as you walk and reach for things, since you may not be as accurate. Your brain is not accustomed to using only one eye. After 20 minutes, go into a darkened closet and shut the door. Look around with the un-patched eye. Now, take the patch off and close the eye that was never patched. Look around again. What differences do you see in vision using each eye?
Go back to your book and find out WHY these differences are experienced. Write about your experience and why you saw what you did. Be sure to talk about what is happening on the cellular level with rods and cones. Why do you think that pirates traditionally wear eye patches?
Have fun and get your friends, spouse or children to do it too!
