This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this activity about the brain and sleep (on page 138 of the PDF), learners measure their resting breathing rates. Learners will discover that breathing frequencies vary amongst individuals.

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity (18th on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory.

In this activity (23rd on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory and learning.

In this activity (on page 134 of the PDF), learners explore reaction time.

In this activity, learners calculate the width (horizontal diameter) of the blind spot on their retina. Learners make a blind spot tester using a piece of notebook paper.

In this activity related to the famous "Stroop Effect," learners explore how words influence what we see and how the brain handles "mixed messages." Learners read colored words and are asked to say th

In this activity, learners discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.

In this activity (page 59 of the PDF), learners spin and observe false eyelashes in jars of water (prepared at least 1 day ahead of time) to investigate the effects of different types of motion on the

In this activity (9th activity on the page), learners work in pairs to see how their perception of touch differs from reality.

In this activity, learners investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity (1st activity on the page), learners explore their sense of taste and the structure of the tongue by taste-testing various foods.

In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.

In this activity (on page 142 of the PDF), learners will compare breathing rates before and after hyperventilation to explore how reduced carbon dioxide levels in the blood lower the need to breathe.

In this activity about how the body regulates blood pressure (page 117 of the PDF), learners make and compare measurements of heart rate and blood pressure from three body positions: sitting, standing
