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

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

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

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

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

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

In this activity, learners work in partners to create and exchange messages written in Braille. Learners use a Braille key and thumbtacks to write their messages in Braille.
