In this activity, learners play a simple card game to learn the sequence of events in the transmission of nervous system signals.

In this activity, learners create a simple “top” from a CD, marble and bottle cap, and use it as a spinning platform for a variety of illusion-generating patterns.

In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of hearing to find a "sound match." Learners shake containers filled with items like dry seeds, sand, beans, etc.

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 work together to create a life-sized drawing of the human nervous system.

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, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

In this activity, learners construct three optical illusion toys to examine how our brains play tricks on what we see.

In this activity (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.

In this activity, learners investigate procedural memory.

This neuroscience activity introduces learners to how messages are sent and received by neurons. Learners use modeling clay and pipe cleaners to build model neurons.

In this activity about olfaction (8th activity on the page), learners smell 10 different items with different odors. Then they try to identify the smells when they are mixed together.

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 (2nd activity on the page), learners explore how the nose is responsible for part of the flavor we taste in food.

In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

In this activity about olfaction (7th activity on the page), learners use natural ingredients to concoct their own perfume.

In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.

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

In this activity (3rd activity on the page), learners taste test different foods and categorize them as sweet, bitter, sour, or salty. Learners compare their results with the group.

Use this activity (13th activity on the page) to introduce learners to the sense of touch. Learners collect objects of varying textures like feathers, rocks, sand, etc.
