In this activity, learners play a simple card game to learn the sequence of events in the transmission of nervous system signals.

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

In this activity, learners play a simple card game to learn the sequence of events in the transmission of nervous system signals.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners review the parts of the synapse and their functions by playing a game.

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

In this outdoor activity, learners play a game of Tag to discover how neurons attach themselves to each other to form a chain.

This neuroscience activity introduces learners to how messages are sent and received by neurons. Learners use modeling clay and pipe cleaners to build model neurons.

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.

This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (fourth activity on the page). One learner stands behind a see-through barrier like a window or wire screen.

In this activity, learners dissect a piece of pizza to learn about nutrients important for health.

In this activity, learners work together to create a life-sized drawing of the human nervous system.

In this activity, learners make a stroboscope--a spinning disk with slits around the edge that you look through.

During this activity, learners take part in a variety of tasks which involve moving and balancing different body parts.

In this online activity, learners role-play as medics, treating a patient with missing organs. Learners select different organs, then drag them into the proper location in the patient's body.

This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (second activity on the page).

In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.
