The 5 Senses
Taste
Another one of the five senses is taste. It allows you to taste all the yummy foods we eat!!
Can you give some examples where we use taste?
Smell
Another one of our senses is smell. This allows us to detect something without feeling or tasting it first.
Can you give some examples where you smelled something you liked or didn't like?
The 5 Senses:
Your senses help you see, hear, smell, taste, or feel something!
Without your senses, you wouldn't know what fresh flowers smelled like, or how good candy tastes!
Touch
Sight
Texture
When you have an itch on your body, a special itch-specific neuron goes off in your body and lets you know that you need to scratch it.
The touch sense also allows you to feel when something is hot and sends those feelings to your brain to tell you to stop touching it.
One of your senses is sight. Your eyes help you focus and detect objects! Without sight we wouldn't know how beautiful the beach is!
Can you give me some examples when we use sight?
To determine the texture of something, you use your sense of touch.
What are some things that have texture?
4. What is a smooth surface an example of?
What sense helps you determine this?

3. Is green, red, yellow, and blue a category or shape or color?
What sense helps you determine this?
Sound
1. When determining the color of something, which sense would you use?
2. When determining the texture of something, which sense would you use?
Sounds allow you to hear when a car is coming, or to listen to your teacher. Being able to hear also allows you to have conversations with others.
