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

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

In this activity, learners make a Benham Top to explore visual illusions and optics.

Are fingers the only place on the body where we use our sense of touch? In this activity (6th activity on the page), learners test the touch sensitivity of different parts of the body.
