Do you ever think about how
it is that you are able to taste the yummy birthday cake at your
birthday party or how you are able to smell the smoke from the candles
that you blow out on your birthday cake? Do you ever think about
what it is that allows you to hear everybody singing the birthday song
to you or to see and feel all of the birthday presents you
received? We experience all of these great things by something
called the Five Senses. The Five Senses are touch, taste, sight,
smell, and hearing. This page is designed to allow you to explore
and learn about all five of our senses.

Mission
Activity
Congratulations! You have just won an award for being a top-notch
professional cake baker at the world-famous Pre-K Bakery.
Everyone in town wants to know what it takes to become a great baker
like yourself. You know that the one of the reasons why you are
such a great cake baker is because you use all five of your senses to
create a spectacular cake. Your mission is to show the town your
secrets to baking a
delicious 7-layer double chocolate chunk birthday cake by drawing a
picture to be put in the local newspaper that shows which of your body
parts and senses that you use.

| Mission
Steps 1. First, go back to the
very first website you looked at and review what each of your five senses is used for and where you
use each of them on your body.
2. Next, with the paper that is given to you draw yourself as a baker. Make sure that the drawing of your body has 5 very important body parts (eyes, ears, mouth, hands, and a nose). 3. Next, color the picture however you want. Remember that you are putting this picture in the local newspaper so make sure that it looks pretty. |
