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.

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, young learners use their sense of touch rather than sight to identify a mystery object in a bag. Learners take turns acting as "peekers" and "sensers" throughout the game.

In this activity (8th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make their own set of Braille letters. Learners use glue to make raised dots on a Braille Alphabet Sheet.

In this activity (10th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make Braille letters out of cork or cardboard and map pins.

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 (15th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners use glue and cardboard to construct a maze they use with their eyes closed.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners go on a nature walk outside and describe what they observe using their 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 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 (11th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify matching pairs of objects hidden in bags. Learners can also play this game with partners.

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 use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.

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

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

Use this activity (13th activity on the page) to introduce learners to the sense of touch. Learners collect objects of varying textures like feathers, rocks, sand, etc.

In this neuroscience activity (4th activity on the page), learners make their own set of Von Frey hairs to test detection thresholds.
