In this activity, learners investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

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 (3rd on the page), learners investigate circadian rhythms by examining how well people do with estimating time.

Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.

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 investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.
