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

In this activity (18th on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory.

In this activity (23rd on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory and learning.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this activity, learners construct a three-dimensional ambiguous cube to explore visual illusions and how our brains interpret or misinterpret information.

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

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, 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.

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

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 activity, learners discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.

In this activity about neuron/target muscle recognition (page 44 of the PDF), learners arranged in two rows facing away from each other use string to simulate neural development.

In this activity (page 59 of the PDF), learners spin and observe false eyelashes in jars of water (prepared at least 1 day ahead of time) to investigate the effects of different types of motion on the

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 investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

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

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

In this activity (1st activity on the page), learners explore their sense of taste and the structure of the tongue by taste-testing various foods.

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