Shape is noticed before the color is identified. Ask students to predict what will happen. Move a colored card slowly in from the side while student looks forward. Key idea: Peripheral retina has fewer cone cells for color vision. Ask: Why can you see something before knowing its color? Safety and cleanup: Teacher demonstration with volunteers. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Peripheral%20Vision%20Loses%20Color%22%20science%20demonstration%20experiment
