In this activity about the brain and sleep (on page 138 of the PDF), learners measure their resting breathing rates. Learners will discover that breathing frequencies vary amongst individuals.

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 (23rd on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory and learning.

In this activity, learners conduct a simple test to find their blind spot.

In this activity (18th on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory.

This mirror-tracing activity related to proprioception is a visual and motor test that involves learning a new motor skill.

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

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.

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

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

In this activity, learners conduct the "Stroop Effect" test and explore what happens when they try to complete two simple tasks at the same time.

Learners test their memory and ability to learn memory strategies in this game. Partners start with an array of poker chips, coins, or paper squares on the table.

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.
