Senses
Grade Level: Kindergarten

Overview:

Young children are natural observers and explorers of their environment. In this science kit, they are provided with a variety of experiences that encourage them to become more aware of how to use all their senses to more closely observe and describe objects and phenomena in the world around them

The Senses unit begins with a challenge for students to use all their senses to describe a common object and to begin to think about how different senses tell them different things about objects in their world. This introduction is followed by hands-on activities that encourage students to focus on and extend each of the five senses. Throughout the unit, discussions, charts, and the children’s own notebook pages are used to encourage recording through drawing and the building of a descriptive language base.

Goals:

-Recognizing senses as tools with which to observe   and describe the world of objects around them
-Develop and practice the process skills of observing,   distinguishing, comparing, classifying,   communicating, and applying knowledge
-Communicating observations through drawing and   writing
