In this activity about the baroreceptor reflex (BR) arc (page 123 of the PDF), learners discover the importance of maintaining adequate arterial blood pressure through a role playing exercise.

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 (12th on the page), learners investigate their ability to discriminate (see) different colors.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners find their blind spot--the area on the retina without receptors that respond to light.

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

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

This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

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 (last activity on the page), learners make a model of the eardrum (also called the "tympanic membrane") and see how sound travels through the air.

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 use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.
