Imagine using your ears and voice to see. That is what bats do with echolocation. Demonstrate how echolocation works with this fun game for your classroom. Buzz, buzz!

Students study germs and ways your body fights against disease.  In this germs lesson students complete an activity that demonstrates where germs can get into your body. 

Students participate in various hands-on activities to determine what life is like without the sense of sight.

Youngsters explore their sense of smell by working in pairs. One child is blindfolded, while the other holds things for him to smell. They switch after a while. All of this leads up to learning about the amazing ability sharks have to...

Youngsters listen to the story, "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." After discussing the story, going over new vocabulary, and repeating the rhymes in the story, they study the parts of a fly. They finish by creating a fly on...

Young biologists use a activity to fill in the blanks of five sentences. Each one needs a word from a word band at the top of the resource. All of the sentences are about things that are alive, and how we know they are alive. The words...

Students explore the three main forms of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. They examine concrete examples of each, using their five senses and "experimenting" to find differences in them. They find pictures of each, cut them out and past...

Students close their eyes and taste foods without using the sense of sight to identify the foods. They record what they think the food is that they tasted.

Students investigate the sense of touch. In this senses lesson, students use their sense of touch to predict what objects are inside of a bag by feeling them with their eyes closed.

Students investigate their sense of touch to help become more descriptive with their observations. In this sensory lesson, students reach inside a box to feel an object then guess what it is.  Students then use both senses of...

Students use their senses to investigate the changes in the seasons. They discuss how the Earth moves around the sun and its tilt. They practice using new vocabulary and examining the different seasons.

In this sense worksheet, students cut out 10 different types of food. Students paste the pictures into four categories- sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.

Students watch a video with no sound and discuss what they thought happened, then they watch the same section of video again with sound and compare what they thought happened with actual events. They explore life as a deaf person.

Students observe their environment and write detailed, sensory-specific sentences about that environment. This lesson can be extended to include the creation of a personalized story or movie of the experience (student examples are...

Students observe bird nests. In this observation level, students explore bird nests using their five senses. Students compare and contrast bird nests while hypothesizing about the need birds have to construct the nest.

At first glance, grassland ecosystems might seem dull and uninteresting, but once you start to explore it's amazing the things you'll find! Through this series of engaging lessons, activities, and experiments, elementary students examine...

Students feel inside a bag and use only their sense of touch to describe and identify one of the objects that is inside the bag.

Students participate in an experiment that shows them how to use their senses to find their way "home." This experiment is based on the video that shows how salmon find their way to their home stream.

Students examine different scents. In this science lesson, students are divided into being parents or babies and are each given a scent. The "parents" have to identify or infer the scent of their "baby" showing that every mammal has a...

Students play their own straw kazoos and understand that vibrations are responsible for the sounds we hear. Additionally, they learn that sound vibrations can travel through different mediums. Students experience vibrations through...

Students use their senses to record and collect data. In How Do I Classify Things in My World?, students practice classifying objects as living or nonliving. In Is it Real Or Pretend?, students group objects as real or pretend. In What...

Students observe chicks hatching from eggs. In this science lesson plan, students view a video to develop an understanding of the proper care and needs of eggs and live animals. This is a great precursor activity for hatching eggs...

Students explore sea life. For this cross curriculum fine arts, science, and P.E. "dolphins" lesson, students sing songs and play games about dolphins, perform water experiments, create mosaics, and use their five senses to explore sand...
