In this activity (1st on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their hands is more dominant. In other words, are they right-handed or left-handed?

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

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 simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

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 (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.

In this activity, learners create a model of a neuron by using colored clay or play dough. Learners use diagrams to build the model and then label the parts on a piece of paper.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify matching pairs of objects hidden in bags. Learners can also play this game with partners.

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 (13th on the page), learners complete a simple illusion trick to see through their own hand.

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

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

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.

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.
