| Friendship begins with a handshake—for good reason. This Science Screen Report examines the sense of touch not only as a means of physical sensation, but also as the most basic way of communicating and interacting with one’s environment. The video highlights the human body’s methods for detecting and evaluating external stimuli, including heat, cold, smoothness, and roughness, and outlines scientific approaches to helping people with an impaired tactile sense. Presenting human touch as a mechanism for survival and happiness, this video is an ideal component for any study of the senses in anatomy or psychology. A viewable/printable teacher’s guide is available at www.cambridgeeducational.com. |
