The Ups and Downs of Body Temperature
Source Institutions
In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.
A Penny Saved is a Penny Heard
Source Institutions
In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.
Right Hand/Left Hand
Source Institutions
In this activity (1st on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their hands is more dominant. In other words, are they right-handed or left-handed?
How Quick Are Your Responses?
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 134 of the PDF), learners explore reaction time.
Find Your Way Around Without Visual or Sound Cues
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.
Auditory Acuity
Source Institutions
This activity (8th activity on the page) tests learners' ability to identify things using only the sense of hearing.
What Cells Can I See in Muscle and Spinal Cord Tissues?
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 37 of the PDF), learners observe, on a prepared slide, muscle and spinal cord cells from a rat.
Built in Stopwatch
Source Institutions
In this activity (3rd on the page), learners investigate circadian rhythms by examining how well people do with estimating time.
Topological Puzzles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct three math puzzles out of simple materials like wood, string, and Styrofoam.
Investigating Sleep
Source Institutions
In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 25 of the PDF), learners will investigate how changing the time they go to bed impacts their own sleep patterns.
Exercise and Memory
Source Institutions
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.
The Space Place
Source Institutions
In this activity (23rd on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory and learning.
How Fast Are You?

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.
Raising the Level of Carbon Dioxide in Your Blood
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 146 of the PDF), learners will explore the effects of increased carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.
Mission: Control!
Source Institutions
In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.
Look Mom, No Wings!
Source Institutions
In this activity about flight, learners explore how high they can jump. Learners dip their finger in ink or dirt, then jump as high as they can and mark paper attached to the wall.
The Geophysical Light/Dark Cycle
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.
Measuring Blood Pressure in Space
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 105 of the PDF), learners measure heart rate and blood pressure and learn how to obtain consistent measurements during repeated tests.
Games of Chance and Brains
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build and play three math games. In the first game, called "Switcheroo," learners place marbles in holes 1 through 4 and 7 through 10.
