The five senses

Science

Ask each question, then compare. A child’s own words are perfect as long as the idea is right.

1. Which sense do you use to see?

Sight, you see with your eyes.

✓ Understood if the child links seeing to eyes / sight.

2. Which sense do you use to hear?

Hearing, you hear with your ears.

✓ Understood if the child links hearing to ears.

3. What did Daisy taste?

Daisy tasted sweet mango, with her tongue.

✓ Understood if the child says mango / tasting with the tongue.

Maths Moment: No sum here, the five senses are sight (eyes), hearing (ears), smell (nose), taste (tongue) and touch (hands/skin).
