In this activity, learners cut, fold, and paste paper representing biomolecules to create a three-dimensional cell membrane with embedded proteins.

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.

This neuroscience activity introduces learners to how messages are sent and received by neurons. Learners use modeling clay and pipe cleaners to build model neurons.

In this activity, learners conduct scientific research on multitasking. Learners determine if multitasking with media while doing homework affects their ability to successfully complete the homework.

In this activity, learners investigate procedural memory.

In this outdoor activity, learners review the parts of the synapse and their functions by playing a game.

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, learners play a simple card game to learn the sequence of events in the transmission of nervous system signals.

This activity (on pages 21-32 of PDF) has learners act out several classic brain teasers.

In this activity, learners create a mind and math puzzle that requires a three-dimensional solution.

In this activity, learners play a simple card game to learn the sequence of events in the transmission of nervous system signals.

In this simulation of synapses, learners act out communication at the neural level by behaving as pre-synaptic vesicles, neurotransmitters, post-synaptic receptors, secondary messengers and re-uptake

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

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

In this activity (page 37 of the PDF), learners observe, on a prepared slide, muscle and spinal cord cells from a rat.

In this activity, learners construct three math puzzles out of simple materials like wood, string, and Styrofoam.

In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 25 of the PDF), learners will investigate how changing the time they go to bed impacts their own sleep patterns.

This activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory) is a full inquiry investigation into the effects of exercise on short term memory.

In this activity (on page 146 of the PDF), learners will explore the effects of increased carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.
