About This Activity

This fun collection of 11 real-world, inquiry-based experiments will deepen your kids' understanding of the sense of touch in the human body and get 2nd and 3rd graders excited about science.

Each experiment starts off with an intriguing question that gets kids excited about finding out the answer—like "Can you tell what an object is without looking?" Your lesson becomes an exploration, fueled by their curiosity.

Thoughtful wrap-up questions help kids gain a deeper understanding of their experience. There's also an easy-to-understand “what happened” that will make it easy to explain the science to your kids.

The concepts covered in The Science of Touch include:

  • What are nerve endings and what do they do
  • Some parts of the body have more nerve endings than other
  • How is our sense of touch different in areas with fewer nerve endings
  • What kinds of information can we gather through touch
  • Different types of touch receptors
  • Experiencing the world with diminished sense of touch
  • Experiencing the world as a blind person without sight, experiencing the world through touch

 Use The Science of Touch as part of a 5 Senses unit, deepen kids' understanding of key science concepts, and build critical thinking and curiosity.

This unit can last from 3-6 weeks, depending on how intensive your science study is.
