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

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 (23rd on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory and learning.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch) is a full inquiry investigation into whether hearing or seeing has a bigger effect on jump rope performance.

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 optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out why two eyes are better than one!

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 optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore peripheral vision. Learners collect data about their ability to see shapes, colors, or letters using their peripheral vision.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

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 activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

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

In this activity, learners investigate procedural memory.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides) is a full inquiry investigation into speed and motion and takes place at a water park.

In this activity, learners explore how their depth perception would be affected if they only had one eye. Learners work in pairs and attempt to drop a penny in a cup with one eye covered.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

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

These two activities (4th on the page) demonstrate the importance of two eyes in judging depth.
