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.

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 will use their five senses to explore a nature-based area around them.

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 activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

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

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 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.

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

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.

In this activity, learners of all ages can enjoy experimenting with ice. Try this experiment at the kitchen table or in the great outdoors to encourage budding scientists to experiment with ice.

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.

This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

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

In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.

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

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).

This quick demonstration (on page 11 of PDF) allows learners to understand why scientists think water ice could remain frozen in always-dark craters at the poles of the Moon.
