Our Senses
24 Sep 2014
In Science we are looking at our 5 senses.
Have a discussion about these with your child.
eg. What do we use to see with?
What can you see around the house?
What does it look like? Is it brightly coloured or dull? Is it big or small?
What does a tree that is far away look like? What does a tree that is close to you look like?
What do we feel with?
Have a look around the house for objects that have got different textures. Describe the textures. Are they smooth, prickly, bumpy, flat, silky, wet, rough or velvety?
What do we hear with?
Have a listen for a variety of sounds around the house. Is it soft or loud. Are the people whispering or speaking loudly? Can you hear different noises outside the house? Are they close by or far away. How do you know?
What do we smell with?
How many different smells can they smell around the house? Can you smell the same things outside the house? Why? Why not?
What do we taste with?
Which is your favourite taste? Why? Which is your least favourite taste? Why? Do all the members of your family like the same food? Why? Why not?
