In this neuroscience activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their sense of touch without using their senses of vision and hearing.

In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to rate and arrange containers filled with different dilutions of a scent (like cologne or fruit juice) in order from wea

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

In this simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of hearing to find a "sound match." Learners shake containers filled with items like dry seeds, sand, beans, etc.

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this activity, learners of all ages can enjoy experimenting with ice. Try this experiment at the kitchen table or in the great outdoors to encourage budding scientists to experiment with ice.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners help identify native and non-native plant species, learn about invasive species, and determine how native plants provide a healthier habitat.

In this activity, learners investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to learn to differentiate between qualitative and quantitative observations and to practice data collection.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore models of the Milky Way and other galaxies to get a sense of relative distances to other galaxies.

In this activity (on pages 16-21), learners get a sense of geological time by understanding how big a million is.

In this activity, groups of four learners must complete a set of four manual tasks. The restrictions are that they must complete the tasks in a limited time while wearing garden or rubber gloves.

This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).

In this culinary activity, learners use multiple senses (sight, smell, touch, and taste!) to explore real seaweed samples.
