Follow Your Nose - The 5 Senses
list created by StacyO
Using experiments and activities, students learn more about their bodies and the senses used to gather information.
-
The Nose Knows
Students plug their nose (and close their eyes) then taste hard candies to see if they can determine the flavors. Ties smell and taste together. -
Mysterious Melodies
A very fun activity that demonstrates how our minds fill in information for us when our senses cannot give complete answers. -
Touchy Feely Bags
By isolating the sense of touch in the bag, student focus on what touch tells you. -
To Taste or Not to Taste
Are you a "taster" or a "non-taster"? -
What's That Sound?
For this activity, sounds are generated on their website, so you need to have access to the computer with your class. -
Thread the Needle
Great activity that brings home the point of two eyes working together for depth perception. Another variation is to close one eye and direct a partner to drop a ball in a cup/bowl. Surprising! -
Set Up a Smelling Station
Help your child get to know the least-appreciated of the five senses, the sense of smell, with a smelling station.
