Your information super highway
Seeing is believing, right? Well, actually, we rely on all of our senses to solve problems and figure out puzzles. As part of our nervous system, our senses of sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing work together to send snippets of information to the brain at rapid speed. Each one informs the other so we get the whole picture.
Grab a partner and put your senses to the test with this activity designed to reveal how your brain decodes signals from all the senses.
