In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

In this activity, learners create a simple “top” from a CD, marble and bottle cap, and use it as a spinning platform for a variety of illusion-generating patterns.

In this easy demonstration (3rd on the page), learners explore depth perception by conducting a test with two pencils.

In this fun and imaginative writing assignment (page nine of the pdf), students will flex the creative side of their brains to learn more about the laws of motion and the scientific process.

In this activity (16th on the page), learners play a variation of the "I Spy" game to explore color. Learners work in teams with each team assigned a color.

During this activity, learners take part in a variety of tasks which involve moving and balancing different body parts.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners find their blind spot--the area on the retina without receptors that respond to light.

In this game-like activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their auditory acuity as well as the importance of having two ears.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF), learners play with a lens and a piece of paper to focus an image on the paper. Learners look at different things, and see how the lenses affect the image.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.

In this activity (17th on the page), learners investigate why you cannot see colors in dim light.

In this activity about light and refraction, learners discover how a lens creates an image that hangs in midair.

This activity (8th activity on the page) tests learners' ability to identify things using only the sense of hearing.

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

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.

In this activity (6th on the page), learners investigate how photoreceptors in the eye (rods and cones) "adapt" to low light conditions.

In this activity related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.

In this activity about flight, learners explore how high they can jump. Learners dip their finger in ink or dirt, then jump as high as they can and mark paper attached to the wall.

In this activity related to flight, learners conduct two simple tests to explore how lift works.
