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

Are balloons porous or non-porous? In this activity, learners watch an entertaining Mr. O video and conduct a simple experiment to find out.

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

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 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 (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.

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).

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 (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

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 activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.
