Are fingers the only place on the body where we use our sense of touch? In this activity (6th activity on the page), learners test the touch sensitivity of different parts of the body.

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

In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

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 (on page 2) explores how sensing is part of robotics. Learners try tying their shoes with different constraints.

Learners use a mortar and pestle to extract clove oil from cloves using denatured alcohol. They put this oil on paper, which they can take home.

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

In this neuroscience activity (4th activity on the page), learners make their own set of Von Frey hairs to test detection thresholds.

In this activity, learners sniff out scents hidden in balloons! After investigating, learners discover we sometimes can use another sense (smell) to detect things too small to see.

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

In this activity, groups of four learners must complete a set of four manual tasks. The restrictions are that they must complete the tasks in a limited time while wearing garden or rubber gloves.

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 investigate the history and development of agricultural biotechnology.
