You can flip the switch and only one person will be killed. What do you do?" Of course, there are a million variations of these kinds of problems too. While not strictly psychology I think these problems are interesti

Stroop Effect Experiment
The Stroop Effect is a phenomenon that occurs when "interference" between contradicting information causes your brain to process things more slowly. For example, when you are asked to read the word "RED" written in red, it's a lot easier than reading the word "RED" written in blue.In this experiment, your students will love learning about neuroscience and psychology while recording each other's reaction times! It is a great way to teach about Scientific Method, Scientific Inquiry, and Experiment

Psychology Coin Size Estimation Memory Encoding AP Psychology
2/8/24 Updated to include metric versions....I did not update the sample file.This lab was inspired by responses from my Personality Online Eysenck lab. In the PO Eysenck lab, I ask the students to take out a penny and trace it onto the “Eysenck circle” to predict where their personalities will be. Needless to say, not everyone has a penny in their pocket so I got a bunch of “freehand” circles…. I thought, hmmm,…this is interesting,….they did not really look like great estimates of the true size

These are not hard-core AP activities. They are just activities to help the students think a bit more about language.
