Brain Box (Bag) of Science
Source Institutions
In this neuroscience activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their sense of touch without using their senses of vision and hearing.

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

Stereoscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

Size and Distance
Source Institutions
In this activity about depth perception, learners create an optical illusion in a shoe box.

Our Sense of Touch: Two-Point Discrimination
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

Mapping the Homunculus
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.

Visualizing How the Vestibular System Works
Source Institutions
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

Our Sense of Sight: Eye Anatomy and Function
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

Our Chemical Senses: Olfaction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

Expose Your Nose
Source Institutions
In this simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

How Sweet It Is
Source Institutions
In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to rate and arrange containers filled with different dilutions of a scent (like cologne or fruit juice) in order from wea

Find Your Way Around Without Visual or Sound Cues
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

Springs and Stomachs
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners investigate mass, gravity, and acceleration by dropping a wooden bar with a balloon attached to its underside, a mass suspended from it by rubber bands, and a sharp-poi

Neural Network Signals
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

Our Sense of Hearing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.
