In this neuroscience activity, learners conduct a simulation to demonstrate how multiple incoming signals influence the action of neurons.

This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this game-like activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their auditory acuity as well as the importance of having two ears.

In this activity (6th on the page), learners investigate how photoreceptors in the eye (rods and cones) "adapt" to low light conditions.

In this game (4th activity on the page) about hearing, learners test their ability to identify various sounds without looking.

In this activity related to the famous "Stroop Effect," learners explore how words influence what we see and how the brain handles "mixed messages." Learners read colored words and are asked to say th

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

In this activity (12th activity on the page), learners conduct an experiment to demonstrate how muscles are constantly feeding information to the brain about what they are doing.

In this activity (page 87 of the PDF), learners move their bodies to better understand the three axes of rotation: pitch, roll and yaw.

This activity (8th activity on the page) tests learners' ability to identify things using only the sense of hearing.

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.

In this easy demonstration (3rd on the page), learners explore depth perception by conducting a test with two pencils.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.

In this demonstration (18th on the page), learners conduct a simple test to explore how the cornea refracts light, which is further bent by the eye lens through a process known as accommodation.

In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.
