In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

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 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, learners explore reaction time and challenge themselves to improve their coordination. Do you want to move faster? Catch that ball that you never seem to see in time?

In this easy demonstration (3rd on the page), learners explore depth perception by conducting a test with two pencils.

Learners use two mirrors to explore how images of images of images can repeat forever.

In this activity (2nd on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which foot is more dominant. In other words, are they right-footed or left-footed?

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 (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this fun optics activity, learners explore principles of light, reflection (mirrors), and perception. Learners work in pairs and sit on opposite sides of a "two-way" mirror.

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.

In this activity (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.

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

In this simulation of synapses, learners act out communication at the neural level by behaving as pre-synaptic vesicles, neurotransmitters, post-synaptic receptors, secondary messengers and re-uptake

In this demonstration (9th on the page), learners explore eyewitness memory and how memories differ amongst individuals. While the rest of the group is minding their own business (i.e.

In this demonstration, amaze learners by performing simple tricks using mirrors. These tricks take advantage of how a mirror can reflect your right side so it appears to be your left side.

Are fingers the only place on the body where we use our sense of touch? In this activity (6th activity on the page), learners test the touch sensitivity of different parts of the body.

In this activity (3rd on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their eyes is more dominant.

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