How My Five Senses Work
Our senses are what allow us to perceive and learn about our world. They allow us to learn, stay secure and appreciate playing, meals and listening to music. In this fun science lesson, students will learn how our body lets us see, hear, smell, taste and touch things!
Which Five Senses Do We Have?
Our eyes give us the ability to see things such as color, shapes, people, animals and much more. They will explore how light allows us to see and how the eyes and brain combine to make us see images.
Sight
We see with our eyes.
Ears enable us to hear songs, laughter and all kinds of natural sounds. In this section, the lesson teaches how sound travels and the way our ears react to different sounds.
