In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.

In this activity, learners explore reaction time and challenge themselves to improve their coordination. Do you want to move faster? Catch that ball that you never seem to see in time?

In this activity (on page 142 of the PDF), learners will compare breathing rates before and after hyperventilation to explore how reduced carbon dioxide levels in the blood lower the need to breathe.

In this optics activity, learners make a lens and explore how the eye manipulates the light that enters it.

In this activity about how the body regulates blood pressure (page 117 of the PDF), learners make and compare measurements of heart rate and blood pressure from three body positions: sitting, standing

In this activity (3rd on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their eyes is more dominant.

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

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

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

In this activity (on page 146 of the PDF), learners will explore the effects of increased carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.

These two activities (4th on the page) demonstrate the importance of two eyes in judging depth.

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.

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 activity, learners will make a thaumatrope, an old-fashioned optical illusion that dates back to the 1820s.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity (1st on the page), learners keep a "SLOG" or Sleep Log to study their sleep patterns.

During this activity, learners take part in a variety of tasks which involve moving and balancing different body parts.

In this artistic activity, learners blow up a smaller picture into a larger one, by using a grid.

In this activity (8th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make their own set of Braille letters. Learners use glue to make raised dots on a Braille Alphabet Sheet.
