In this outdoor game, learners role play predator and prey to explore the importance of keen hearing and silent stalking skills in the animal world.

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

In this activity, learners sniff out scents hidden in balloons! After investigating, learners discover we sometimes can use another sense (smell) to detect things too small to see.

In this activity, learners work in teams to study the observation skills essential to scientific research.

In this activity (9th activity on the page), learners work in pairs to see how their perception of touch differs from reality.

In this activity (1st activity on the page), learners explore their sense of taste and the structure of the tongue by taste-testing various foods.

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.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.

In this activity (on pages 24-34), learners explore the four-part stomach of cows (and other grazing animals called ruminants), and compare it to the human one-part stomach and its digestive process.

In this activity (12th activity on the page), learners conduct an experiment to demonstrate how muscles are constantly feeding information to the brain about what they are doing.

In this activity (3rd on the page), learners investigate circadian rhythms by examining how well people do with estimating time.

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).

Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under What's Nano? Activity) about size and scale.

In this outdoor, sensory activity, learners role play as animals trying to identify their "family's" scent and locate their "territory." Learners mark their territories and sniff out other territories
