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

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.

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

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 103: Enough With the Seashells!, learners practice estimating numbers of objects (like shells) and then check their estimates by counting.

In this activity, learners build a simple pinhole viewer. They use this apparatus to project images from a variety of light sources, including a candle, the Sun, and the Moon.

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

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

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.

In this activity (12th activity on the page), learners conduct an experiment to demonstrate how muscles are constantly feeding information to the brain about what they are doing.

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?

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 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 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?
