The Five Senses
Science · The Human Body · conceptual
Explore the five senses in detail: sight uses eyes to detect light, hearing uses ears to detect sound, touch uses skin to feel pressure and temperature, taste uses the tongue to detect flavours, and smell uses the nose to detect odours
What mastery looks like
- Name all five senses and match each to the correct body part
- Describe what each sense detects (e.g. eyes detect light, ears detect sound waves)
- Give an example of using each sense in everyday life (e.g. smelling food cooking, feeling hot water)
Check your understanding
If you blindfolded The Five Senses and gave them something to smell, taste, and touch, could they name which sense they were using each time and which body part does the job?
