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

In this activity about depth perception, learners create an optical illusion in a shoe box.

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

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

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 (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.

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

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

In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to rate and arrange containers filled with different dilutions of a scent (like cologne or fruit juice) in order from wea

In this activity (17th on the page), learners investigate why you cannot see colors in dim light.

In this activity, learners make an optical illusion toy from the 1800s to explore persistence of vision.

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

In this activity (2nd activity on the page), learners explore the sensitivity of their sense of touch.
