This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.

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

In this activity related to the famous "Stroop Effect," learners explore how words influence what we see and how the brain handles "mixed messages." Learners read colored words and are asked to say th

This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (second activity on the page).

In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify mystery objects hidden in socks.

In this activity (12th activity on the page), learners conduct an experiment to demonstrate how muscles are constantly feeding information to the brain about what they are doing.

In this activity, learners investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

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

In this activity, learners investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

In this activity (3rd activity on the page), learners taste test different foods and categorize them as sweet, bitter, sour, or salty. Learners compare their results with the group.

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

In this neuroscience activity (4th activity on the page), learners make their own set of Von Frey hairs to test detection thresholds.

This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (fourth activity on the page). One learner stands behind a see-through barrier like a window or wire screen.

In this quick activity/demonstration (5th on the page), learners explore depth perception.

In this activity (last activity on the page), learners make a model of the eardrum (also called the "tympanic membrane") and see how sound travels through the air.

In this activity (13th on the page), learners complete a simple illusion trick to see through their own hand.

In this activity, learners calculate the width (horizontal diameter) of the blind spot on their retina. Learners make a blind spot tester using a piece of notebook paper.

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

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
