In this activity, learners examine fingerprints. Learners leave a hidden print on a surface and then make their own print detecting powder from graphite (found in pencils).

In this activity (2nd on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which foot is more dominant. In other words, are they right-footed or left-footed?

In this activity (1st on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their hands is more dominant. In other words, are they right-handed or left-handed?

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

This activity (on pages 16-23) lets learners measure each other's vital signs—the signs that help doctors understand what's going on in a patient body.

Learners discover how important their thumbs are by attempting various tasks without them. After tying up their thumbs, learners attempt to legibly write their names or play catch with a tennis ball.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this invention challenge activity, learners see how many objects they can grab with a homemade "bionic" arm.

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

In this playful, goopy activity, learners mix two liquids to create a solid (that sometimes acts like a liquid ), using basic household materials such as borax and glue.

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 set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

In this activity (15th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners use glue and cardboard to construct a maze they use with their eyes closed.

In this activity (9th activity on the page), learners work in pairs to see how their perception of touch differs from reality.

In this activity, learners investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

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 (10th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make Braille letters out of cork or cardboard and map pins.

In this activity, learners discover a brain process called habituation.

We're told from a young age that we have 5 senses, but we have many more. One of which is our awareness of our own body part's orientation and position.
