How it Works:

Our eyes act as a primary source of information that allows us to find and keep our balance. By closing our eyes, we shut off this stream of information making it more difficult to remain balanced.  

Make This A Science Project:

Try this experiment in a dark room. Try spinning around several times. Try holding your arms out to the side.
