Students discover how sense of touch helps us explore our world by feeling it and learning the size, texture and shape of things.

Touch screens are becoming more common, but how do they work? The simulation shows the electric potential versus system charge as scholars alter three variables. The schematic of the capacitance demonstrates the set up as each variable...

Students identify the physical properties of items using the sense of touch. In this touch and discover lesson, students describe items.  Students sort items using a Venn diagram.

Students apply the scientific method by building a "Proposal for Study." They label the Observation, Hypothesis, and Prediction columns. Students listen as the teacher introduces the alternative healing methods of therapeutic touch and...

Students explore the sense of touch. They listen to and discuss the book, I Can Tell By Touching, observe a demonstration of cold, and create a touch book using candy buttons, pine needles, cotton, burlap, and wax paper.

In this senses learning exercise, students identify pictures of items that are hard or soft to the touch. In the following four pages, students use their discernment skills to identify things they can see, smell, and hear. Students color...

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 discover the characteristics of living and non living objects without the use of sight.  In this sense of touch lesson, students touch items put in a shoe box and must identify whether the item was once living or not by...

Young scholars explore solid objects using touch. For this art lesson, students are blindfolded and given a 3 dimensional object to explore with their hands. After the object is removed, young scholars draw what they think the object...

Kids love to guess what's hidden in the bag! This classic lesson allows them to do just that by using two of their senses: their sense of touch and their sense of hearing. Objects are hidden inside a sock, and pupils must guess what they...

Students become aware of the sense of touch and the body parts effected by touching.  In this five senses lesson plan, students touch mystery items and create a touch page.  Students discuss the body parts connected to the...

Students explore the senses. In this Applied Science lesson, students investigate the items in "feely" boxes with their hands, both touching the items and shaking the boxes to hear the sound the items make. Students also smell and taste...

Students predict what mystery objects are based on how they feel. In this sense of touch instructional activity, students reach inside a box and make a guess about the object inside. Once students record their predictions, the objects...

Students become aware of texture and the sense of touch. In this senses lesson, students become aware of their dominant hand. Students draw pictures using texture. Students describe a texture of an item in a mystery bag.

Concave mirrors and the images they produce are traditional topics in the physics classroom. This resource explains how to set up an investigation of them, and it provides you with the explanation of concepts.
