Lets Use our Eyes We use our eyes to see the world around us.
What are some things we can see in our classroom? What are some
things we can see outside of our classroom? Lets fold a piece of
paper in half and draw some pictures to show what we see in our
classroom and what we see outside of our classroom. How do our eyes
help us in science? Division of Academics - Department of
Science
Slide 7
Lets Use our Ears We use our ears to hear the world around us.
Lets close our eyes and listen to the sounds we hear. Open your
eyes. What are some sounds that you heard? How do our ears help us
in science? I heard _____________ and ________________. Division of
Academics - Department of Science
Slide 8
Lets Learn About Touch In order to learn more about the way
things feel, we will be working on an activity where we can only
touch different objects. Have several different small numbered
paper bags with objects inside (e.g. feathers, marbles, dry cereal,
gummy bears, blocks, tennis ball, etc.). Students will feel what is
inside the bag without looking and then draw what they think it is
on a log sheet, next to the number for each bag. Division of
Academics - Department of Science 1 2
Slide 9
Lets Learn About Smell In order to learn how we use our sense
of smell, we need to use our nose to help discover different
scents. Dip cotton balls into different liquids (e.g. peppermint,
maple syrup, orange juice, lemon juice, rose water, etc.) and store
them in a plastic baggie inside of a paper bag that is numbered.
Students will travel to each station and smell, but not look or
touch, what is inside. They will then draw what they think each
scent is on their log. Division of Academics - Department of
Science
Slide 10
Lets Learn About Taste When we taste things, we use our tongue.
Our tongue has different parts that can taste different things. We
can taste things that are sweet, salty, sour, or bitter. Here we
have four different types of food, one for each type of taste (make
sure that you have checked for allergies). After you taste the food
with your tongue, draw the food under the correct section (sweet,
salty, sour, or bitter). Division of Academics - Department of
Science SweetSaltySourBitter
Slide 11
Lets Make a Five Senses Book to Compare Senses Read My Five
Senses by Aliki Students will make a My Five Senses book or chart.
For each sense, you may want to have students show 5 examples
(drawings, magazine pictures, labeled drawings, etc.) Division of
Academics - Department of Science
Slide 12
Lets Make Our Face Using different materials (pipe cleaners,
cotton balls, clay, tissue paper, etc.) we will make our face on
construction paper Once you create your face, label the parts that
use each sense and the sense they use. Division of Academics -

Slide 13
Brain Check: Five Senses What are the five senses? How can we
use each sense to describe an apple? What are some sounds our ears
can hear? How do we use our eyes to describe an object? When we use
our tongue to taste, what are four different types of taste we can
use to describe food or drink? What are some different scents we
can smell with our nose? Division of Academics - Department of
Science
