Flashcard facts and information about how we see color
Biology Bits stories are a great way for you to learn about biology a little bit at a time. We’ve broken down information into pieces that are very tiny—bite-sized biology cards. Cutting out the cards will let you organize them however you want, or use them as flashcards while you read.
This set of bits will teach you about one of the ways we get information from the world around us: by seeing color. To learn more about the science behind your vision, visit Seeing Color.
