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

Smell Match
Source Institutions
In this matching activity (3rd activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to match pairs of opaque containers filled with various smelly items like orange peel, roses, or moth balls.

Head, Shoulder, Knees and Toes...and Hands, Fingers and Back
Source Institutions
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.

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

Guess My Number
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners play a game similar to 20 Questions, in which learners must identify a secret number drawn from a bag.

Exploring Size: Scented Balloons
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

Sand Paper Rankings
Source Institutions
In this activity (2nd activity on the page), learners explore the sensitivity of their sense of touch.

Sock It To Me!
Source Institutions
In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify mystery objects hidden in socks.

Mix and Match
Source Institutions
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.

Active Touch
Source Institutions
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.

Molecule Match
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use their nose to sniff out hidden scents using extracts and cotton balls. Activity includes materials list, game instructions, STEM connections and more.

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

The Nose Knows
Source Institutions
In this activity (2nd activity on the page), learners explore how the nose is responsible for part of the flavor we taste in food.
Penny Estimation
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners estimate how many pennies are in a jar by predicting and counting handfuls of pennies.

Smelly Balloons
Source Institutions
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 the Middle
Source Institutions
In this game-like activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their auditory acuity as well as the importance of having two ears.
How Many In a Minute
Source Institutions
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.
Fair Shares: Predict Equal Shares
Source Institutions
Use this activity to build division and number sense into any snack time or whenever there is a limited set of things to share among a group: If we deal these out, could everyone get two pieces?

Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
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).
