Senses
Aargh or aaaah, yuk or yum? Examine how we sense the world around us as we test out our 5 senses and beyond, to look at some senses you might not have considered before. Investigate and play with your senses and find out how to confuse them – and you!
Students will work scientifically:
- asking simple questions and recognising that they can be answered in different ways.
- performing simple tests.
- using their observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions.
- gathering and recording data to help in answering questions.
Animals, including humans:
– identify, name, draw and label the basic parts of the human body and say which part of the body is associated with each sense.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
- gain an understanding of their senses and the parts of their body that are associated with them
- understand that our brain is responsible for interpreting the information from our senses
- realise that it is possible to fool our brain by giving it conflicting information
