Use Your Senses to Understand the World — Then Engineer a Better One
Texture Block Matching
The Matching Pairs Texture Blocks Set challenges students to identify and pair surfaces by touch alone, sharpening observation, concentration, and descriptive vocabulary.
Sight-Based Investigation
Activities explore how vision helps us detect differences in color, shape, and size, building the visual discrimination skills that support reading and math readiness.
Protective Design Challenge
The engineering challenge asks students to design gear that protects the body — gloves, goggles, helmets, or shields — connecting sensory science to real-world safety engineering.
Inclusive, Multisensory Approach
Every activity engages multiple senses simultaneously, ensuring that visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners all have entry points to the content.
What Students Will Do
- Explore and describe different textures using descriptive vocabulary
- Match texture block pairs by touch without visual cues
- Investigate how sight helps detect differences in color, shape, and size
- Classify objects by sensory properties and explain sorting choices
- Design and build protective gear that shields the body from a specific hazard
- Test, evaluate, and improve protective designs based on peer feedback
