This TopicQuest was designed for Ms. Camon's Pre-K class at Valdosta Daycare Center by Mish Nyutu, a Valdosta State University Preservice Teacher.
| Let's take a walk
through the
world of our senses. What makes one look at something and know it's
color? What makes us know the taste of an orange? What about the noisy
neighbour next door? Do you ever think about why one moves his/her hand
away from a hot pan? Oh yeah, let's not forget mama's cooking.
How do you know it smells good? Well this page will help us know some
facts about our senses. If you are ready, then I am too. LET'S GET
GOING TO THE WORLD OF OUR SENSES AND DISCOVER SOME COOL STUFF. |
 |
I want to see
you. Do you want to see me? This website will help us sight
our first sense and know how we are able to see. |
 |
Do you hear what I
hear? Oh the music, well not really, I think I hear the dog barking.
Let's
visit the
Come to
Your Senses and
know more about how our ears work. |
 |
Aha! Think about your
nose. It helps you know if something smells good or bad. A rotten
banana would not be something you want near your nose. Let's visit the yuckiest
site on the Internet and learn more about the sense of smell. |
 |
Hey there, did you come to your
senses after touching that hot pot? I would move my hand from it
so
fast. What about you? |
 |
Hey, do you wanna
taste mama's great food? Is it sweet, salty, or sour? Let's stick
out our toungues and say aah, as we learn more about the tougue and
how we taste. |
 |
I was doing some
research about the five senses and I found some great information about
our senses. Take a look at the encyclopedia and
you too can learn more about your senses. |

Mission
Activity.
Imagine that you are a teacher.You have a
classroom of ten students. You have just finished covering the topic on
five senses. For your next class lesson, you intend to have the
students speak about one of the senses they like best. You have
prepared to show an example of the lesson by talking about the nose.
You have a picture of a nose and after talking about it, you show the
students your picture. Provide the paper, pencils, markers, crayons and
any other materials the students may use to draw their picture. A
website like Five Senses can help you jog your
memory on how some of the
features look like.
Mission Steps.
1. After visiting
the website Five Senses ,
students will identify what body feature related to
our senses they may want to talk about.
2. The students will draw a picture of the body feature they like. 3. Under each picture the students will write three interesting facts about the feature they choose. 4. The students will then share the information with others in the class. |
