In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out why two eyes are better than one!

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

In this activity (15th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners use glue and cardboard to construct a maze they use with their eyes closed.

This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 6 of the PDF). Students make a limewater testing solution for carbon dioxide and explore the concepts of solubility and precipitates.

In this activity (9th activity on the page), learners work in pairs to see how their perception of touch differs from reality.

In this activity, learners design miniature cars. Learners can create a telephone car, soccer car, merry-go-round car, or any other theme car they can imagine.

In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

In this math activity, learners use cubes to calculate how many blocks it would take to build stairways with different heights.

In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.

Learners shine the light of a laser pointer through sheets of fabric that all have a different number of threads per inch.

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

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.
