Hi all - just wanted to share a quick and fun activity for sensation and
perception. In order to demonstrate self-adaptation in olfactory sense,
I took into class a few sets of the scented markers (you know, the ones
with the fruity smells). It worked really well and they enjoyed it
thoroughly. We then launched into a discussion about adaptation when
you're sitting on a plane next to someone who hasn't showered in awhile
(VERY relevant here in Alaska where you will always come across these
passengers and plane rides can be very long; EVERYONE up here has
experienced it, making it quite relevant to every student!).
I'm sure there are all sorts of activities out there (and would love to
hear them); just wanted to share a quick one that worked super duper!
Cheers,
Dani'
