Mission
Activity
Imagine that you are an airplane pilot. You have
a very special flight to complete. You need to fly to the North
Pole to pick up the toys for Santa Claus because his sleigh is
broken. As you prepare to take off, you will need to perform a
preflight check in the cockpit to make sure all your systems are ready
to go. What senses will you use to complete this check?
Once you arrive at the North Pole, you may need to put a heavy coat
on. Can you tell me why you might need this, and what sense you
used to decide? After you have loaded all the boys and girls
presents onto the plane, Santa will fill your thermos with hot
cocoa. What sense will you use to determine if you like or do not
like the cocoa?
Using The Five Senses sight do your preflight check and determine those senses!! Mission Steps:
Step 1: Ask your teacher for
paper and crayons.
Step 2: Draw a picture of your airplane taking off, or at the North Pole with Santa. Step 3: Write the senses you used to complete your preflight check and tell us what you checked. Step 4: Write the senses you used at the North Pole to determine if you needed a coat and if you liked your hot cocoa. Step 5: Hand your completed drawing to your teacher |
