This activity (8th activity on the page) tests learners' ability to identify things using only the sense of hearing.

In this outdoor activity, learners find out the color of food that jays prefer and then try to change the birds' preference by altering the taste of the food with salt.

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about modeling a nanoscale phenomenon (gravity-defying gecko feet) with macroscale objects (shoes).

In this activity (3rd on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their eyes is more dominant.

This fun, nighttime hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore how long it takes for light from different objects in the universe to reach Earth.

In this activity, learners make a Benham Top to explore visual illusions and optics.

In this activity, learners construct drawing machines using a cup, some markers, and a battery pack. The markers act as "legs" for the machine, making a drawing that records as it moves.

In this neuroscience activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their sense of touch without using their senses of vision and hearing.

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 hands-on activity, learners track and record the passage of colored "pompom traits" through three generations of gingerbread people.

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

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

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.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Self-Assembly Activity) about self-assembly, the ability of molecules to assemble themselves according to certain rules.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.

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

In this activity, learners apply a dissolving test to known crystals to identify the unknown. Since the unknown is chemically the same as one of the known crystals, it should dissolve similarly.

In this activity, learners explore the process of condensation.

In this activity, learners write a secret message in "invisible ink" and then use chemistry to view the writing.
