In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to rate and arrange containers filled with different dilutions of a scent (like cologne or fruit juice) in order from wea

In this activity, learners mimic remote sensing. Learners use a stick to measure the distance to a "planet surface" they cannot see, and create their own map of the landscape.

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

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

In this lab, learners experience how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight.

In this simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

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 (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.

In this activity, learners investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

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

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 investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

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 investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

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

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.
