The I Ching is a hexagram in the ancient Chinese text of the same name. "I Ching" or Yi Jing means "Book of Changes". The book is an important work for the Taoism and Confucianism religions. The text has been around in its present form since 200 BCE, but may have been in use much longer.

How is your sight? This test uses a perfectly safe laser to determine whether you have deficient sight. Look at the dots with one eye at a time and see what happens!

A plant cell is slightly more advanced than an animal cell – it has a higher number of organelles and is also larger.

Do you want to experience what it’s like to be seven months pregnant? Put on a pregnancy suit and see what it feels like!

Investigate how fast your pulse is beating, and how much oxygen there is in your blood. The amount is usually over 90 percent if you're healthy.

As soon as the red light goes on, press the button. How fast are your reflexes? 

What would we need to "make" a whole human being? All the ingredients of the human body are listed here – a recipe for a human!

Can you scream as loudly as an animal? The barrel has a microphone connected to an amplifier. The intensity of the sound produced is measured in decibels and displayed as a column of lamps.

This is the same test as the one used by an optician. Stand 5 metres away from the test sheet, cover one eye and read with the other. How far down can you read?

The skeleton is is our innermost constructional element. Our rattling bones have historically been associated with death, but we couldn’t live without it!
