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 will use their nose to sniff out hidden scents using extracts and cotton balls. Activity includes materials list, game instructions, STEM connections and more.

If you had a long tube with a 5 millimeter wide slit, would you see the entire Golden Gate Bridge?

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

In this activity about olfaction (8th activity on the page), learners smell 10 different items with different odors. Then they try to identify the smells when they are mixed together.

Create 3D glasses and use them to explore color, light and optics. Fool your brain into 'seeing' three dimensions on a flat surface!

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 investigate procedural memory.

This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

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

In this activity (12th on the page), learners investigate their ability to discriminate (see) different colors.

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.

In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.
