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 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, 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 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.

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

In this outdoor game, learners role play predator and prey to explore the importance of keen hearing and silent stalking skills in the animal world.

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

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

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.
