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 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, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners estimate risks associated with different events and compare their estimates to the real possibilities.

This activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory) is a full inquiry investigation into the effects of exercise on short term memory.

In this activity (on page 134 of the PDF), learners explore reaction time.

In this activity, learners investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

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 the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

In this activity, learners discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.

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 investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners conduct scientific research on multitasking. Learners determine if multitasking with media while doing homework affects their ability to successfully complete the homework.

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.

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

In this quick activity, learners take a balance challenge to measure their average balance time. As they collect data, they investigate how practice and repetition improve their balance time.

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