Psychology: Sensation & Perception Activity Bundle

This bundle includes activities and lessons that can be used in-class, with distance learning, and/or independently. They are meant to introduce, teach, reinforce, and study the material in the sensation and perception unit of a psychology class. The fact or myth game is a fun introduction to intrigue students about the material and gauge their prior knowledge. This bundle includes the PDF version and the PowerPoint version of the same activity. The extrasensory perception types and tests are a fun extension to learning about perception. The viewing guides help students dive deeper into the topics of beauty and music with short, engaging videos and related questions. The task cards offer flexibility in reviewing the vocabulary and bingo is a fun way to wrap up and review the chapter or study for a test. I've also included the independent work packet, which includes some of the same activities, as well as others in a PDF that can be completed independently by students.
