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?

This fun hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore models of the Milky Way and other galaxies to get a sense of relative distances to other galaxies.

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, 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.

In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

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

In this activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore how what you see influences taste. In experiment 1, learners taste five sodas, one of which is clear soda with orange food coloring.

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

In this culinary activity, learners use multiple senses (sight, smell, touch, and taste!) to explore real seaweed samples.

In this outdoor fall activity, learners find out what living in or under a layer of leaves is like.

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.

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.
