In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own 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 discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.

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

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 sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

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

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 activity (4th activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to rate and arrange containers filled with different dilutions of a scent (like cologne or fruit juice) in order from wea

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

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.
