In this activity about the baroreceptor reflex (BR) arc (page 123 of the PDF), learners discover the importance of maintaining adequate arterial blood pressure through a role playing exercise.

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

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 about neuron/target muscle recognition (page 44 of the PDF), learners arranged in two rows facing away from each other use string to simulate neural development.

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

In this activity, learners create a model of a neuron by using colored clay or play dough. Learners use diagrams to build the model and then label the parts on a piece of paper.

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

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

In this activity (pages 26-29 of the PDF), learners investigate how they can develop super memories by using mnemonic devices.

In this activity, learners investigate procedural memory.

In this activity (page 87 of the PDF), learners move their bodies to better understand the three axes of rotation: pitch, roll and yaw.

In this outdoor activity, learners play a game of Tag to discover how neurons attach themselves to each other to form a chain.

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.
