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 neuroscience activity, learners conduct a simulation to demonstrate how multiple incoming signals influence the action of neurons.

In this activity, learners estimate risks associated with different events and compare their estimates to the real possibilities.

In this activity, learners construct three optical illusion toys to examine how our brains play tricks on what we see.

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

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

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

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.

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

In this activity (page 105 of the PDF), learners measure heart rate and blood pressure and learn how to obtain consistent measurements during repeated tests.
