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 activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use 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 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 outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

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.

This activity introduces learners to Native Americans as people who depended upon nature in the past and continue to emphasize the importance of nature in the present.

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.

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, young learners go on a walk with caregivers and use their senses to observe nature with the help of scavenger hunt sheet.

Young learners investigate and observe the properties of three liquids -- water, vegetable oil, and corn syrup. They use their senses to collect data and ask and answer questions.

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 about electricity, learners identify closed and open circuits. First, learners examine and label diagrams of open and closed circuits.

In this activity, learners work in teams to study the observation skills essential to scientific research.
