Ever wondered how your brain manages all of the information it receives every second of every day? The sights, the sounds, the smells ... each one filed away for later use or moved to the front of the line so your body can react. Through the included videos and station activities, learners get inside their own heads to explore the fastest, most accurate filing system known to man.

Instructional Ideas

  • Each station experiment has supporting information to go along with the activity; consider making copies and ask lab groups to summarize each article within their lab reports

Classroom Considerations

  • There are video components with the activity; if there is no Internet or projector access in the lab, consider showing the videos prior to leaving for lab
  • For upper-level classes, the included discussion questions are an excellent way to assess learning

Pros

  • The station activities are interesting and entertaining, while providing solid sensory processing information
  • Document includes all of the links needed to create a fascinating sensory study

Cons
