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

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

In this activity (posted on March 12, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a spectroscope, a tool used to analyze light and color.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Light and Color Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into mixing colors with light.

In this activity, learners discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.

In this activity, learners experiment with their voices and noisemakers to understand the connections between vibrations and the sounds created by those vibrations.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this health and genetics activity, learners determine whether tasting the bitter compound PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) influences which vegetables a person likes.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument using some metal pipes, rubber bands, and a baseboard.

In this activity, learners use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

In this activity, learners use transparent tape and polarizing material to create and project beautifully colored patterns reminiscent of abstract or geometric stained glass windows--no glass required

In this activity, learners explore color, light and shadow by creating their own puppets to hold in front of a light source.

In this activity, learners take an indoor nature walk and discover various objects that have been brought in from the outdoor environment.

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, sensory activity, learners role play as animals trying to identify their "family's" scent and locate their "territory." Learners mark their territories and sniff out other territories

In this activity, learners investigate the history and development of agricultural biotechnology.

In "Chemistry Makes Scents," participants use their noses to distinguish between chemicals with very similar structures.

In this activity, learners will use their nose to sniff out hidden scents using extracts and cotton balls. Activity includes materials list, game instructions, STEM connections and more.
