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 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

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

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 (2nd activity on the page), learners explore the sensitivity of their sense of touch.

In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

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

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 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 investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

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 investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.
