Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Basic 2 Basic Science and Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about No previous lesson found.. Today, we’re going to learn about Using Our Five Senses.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Identify the sense organs.
- State the uses of each sense organ.
Using Our Five Senses
What are our five senses?
We have five senses that help us explore the world around us. These senses are sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste. Each sense is made possible by a special organ in our body.
Sense Organs
There are five main sense organs, and they are:
- Eyes: Our eyes help us see the world around us. They detect light and send signals to our brain, allowing us to perceive colors, shapes, and movements.
- Skin: Our skin is our largest sense organ and helps us feel things. It has receptors that detect pressure, temperature, and pain. This allows us to experience textures, warmth, and cold.
- Ears: Our ears help us hear sounds. They collect sound waves and transmit them to our brain, allowing us to perceive different pitches, volumes, and tones.
- Nose: Our nose helps us smell. It contains receptors that detect different scents, allowing us to identify various smells like flowers, food, or even danger.
- Tongue: Our tongue helps us taste. It has taste buds that detect different flavors, allowing us to experience sweetness, sourness, saltiness, bitterness, and umami.
Evaluation Questions
Now that you’ve learned about our five senses, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- What are the five senses?
- Which sense organ helps us see?
- How does our skin help us explore the world?
- What is the function of our ears? 5. What are the different tastes we can identify with our tongue?
Conclusion
Remember, our five senses are essential for experiencing the world around us. They help us learn, interact, and enjoy life. Keep exploring and discovering new things using your senses!
