touch experiments

Keep in mind that some people do not like to be blindfolded...you could ask them to keep their eyes closed, but don't count on them having their eyes closed for a very long time. The skin is the largest sensory organ of the body. The skin is sensitive to many different kinds of "stimuli", such as touch, pressure, and temperature. Within the skin, there are different types of "receptors" that are activated by different stimuli.

Smooth (an apple) rough (sand paper; rock) cold (ice) warm (a sun-warmed piece of metal) Tell someone to close their eyes (or use a blindfold) and touch the items to the person's hands or fingers.
