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, learners experiment with the Stroop Effect by challenging themselves and others to try and read a list of colors as quickly and accurately as possible, with a twist.

In this game (4th activity on the page) about hearing, learners test their ability to identify various sounds without looking.

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

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.

Which one of your eyes are dominant? Do they act independently or are they equally "in control?" This activity explores how your eyes work (or don't work) together.

In this activity, learners discover a brain process called habituation.

In this activity, learners play a trick on their own brain to see if the brain can learn to ignore distracting input. Colors and words are used to play the visual trick, known as a Stroop Test.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to test how fast they can react. Learners try to catch a piece of paper with a ruler printed on it (or a ruler) as quickly as they can.

In this activity (14th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners examine if it is easier or harder to identify an object if they move their hands over it.

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.

In this activity, learners explore how their depth perception would be affected if they only had one eye. Learners work in pairs and attempt to drop a penny in a cup with one eye covered.

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.

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

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.
