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

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, learners investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

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

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

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

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

In this activity, learners examine their tongue and taste buds.

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, learners will keep track of how much they can do in one minute. Instructors can pick something everyone will do for a minute, such as jumping up and down or drawing stars.

Historically, sea floor mapping (bathymetry) was done by soundings.

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

Build time sense into the schedule by asking learners to predict what can happen in a certain amount of time: We have 20 minutes before outdoor time. What can you get done?

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this activity, learners will conduct an open-ended survey, and then organize and analyze results. What languages does everyone speak? What’s the most common? the least common?

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.
