This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (fourth activity on the page). One learner stands behind a see-through barrier like a window or wire screen.

In this activity related to the famous "Stroop Effect," learners explore how words influence what we see and how the brain handles "mixed messages." Learners read colored words and are asked to say th

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

In this activity (1st on the page), learners find their blind spot--the area on the retina without receptors that respond to light.

In this activity (12th on the page), learners investigate their ability to discriminate (see) different colors.

In this activity (6th on the page), learners investigate how photoreceptors in the eye (rods and cones) "adapt" to low light conditions.

In this activity, learners calculate the width (horizontal diameter) of the blind spot on their retina. Learners make a blind spot tester using a piece of notebook paper.

In this game (4th activity on the page) about hearing, learners test their ability to identify various sounds without looking.

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.

In this activity about olfaction (9th activity on the page), learners smell 10 different items with different odors, including some edible food items.

In this activity (2nd activity on the page), learners explore the sensitivity of their sense of touch.

In this easy demonstration (3rd on the page), learners explore depth perception by conducting a test with two pencils.

In this quick and simple activity about reflexes (at the top of the webpage), learners conduct a simple test to explore pupillary response.

In this activity (8th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make their own set of Braille letters. Learners use glue to make raised dots on a Braille Alphabet Sheet.

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

In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify mystery objects hidden in socks.

In this activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore how what you see influences taste. In experiment 1, learners taste five sodas, one of which is clear soda with orange food coloring.

In this activity (4th on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their ears is more dominant.
