We're told from a young age that we have 5 senses, but we have many more. One of which is our awareness of our own body part's orientation and position.

In this activity, learners explore how their sense of smell affects their taste buds. Learners taste different flavored jelly beans while holding their nose.

In this activity (8th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make their own set of Braille letters. Learners use glue to make raised dots on a Braille Alphabet Sheet.

Your tongue can sense about 6 different flavors (salty, sweet, bitter, sour, umami/savory, and fat), but your nose provides a lot more "taste" information than you realize when you eat.

In this activity (10th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make Braille letters out of cork or cardboard and map pins.

Are fingers the only place on the body where we use our sense of touch? In this activity (6th activity on the page), learners test the touch sensitivity of different parts of the body.

In this activity (15th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners use glue and cardboard to construct a maze they use with their eyes closed.

In this activity, learners will use their five senses to explore a nature-based area around them.

In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.

In this activity about olfaction (7th activity on the page), learners use natural ingredients to concoct their own perfume.

These three short activities challenge groups to fit objects through paper and index cards: "Slots" presents the challenge for one learner to figure out which objects fit through a hole cut by another

In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify mystery objects hidden in socks.

This activity (on page 2) explores how sensing is part of robotics. Learners try tying their shoes with different constraints.

In this technology activity, learners explore digital imaging and pixels. Learners "transmit" an image to a partner by creating an image on grid paper.

In this activity (14th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners examine if it is easier or harder to identify an object if they move their hands over it.

This activity (8th activity on the page) tests learners' ability to identify things using only the sense of hearing.

In this game (4th activity on the page) about hearing, learners test their ability to identify various sounds without looking.

In this neuroscience activity (4th activity on the page), learners make their own set of Von Frey hairs to test detection thresholds.

In this activity (last activity on the page), learners make a model of the eardrum (also called the "tympanic membrane") and see how sound travels through the air.

In this activity, learners work in partners to create and exchange messages written in Braille. Learners use a Braille key and thumbtacks to write their messages in Braille.
