THE FIVE SENSES
What are the five senses?
THE SENSE OF TASTE
• In this lesson we are going to learn about the sense of taste.
• Question: Do you know in which organ the sense of taste is?
• Let´s see the following picture
The tongue is covered in small spots called taste buds. These taste buds identify flavours and have nerves that send information to our brain. As you can see in the picture, the tongue is divided in four flavours: BITTER, SOUR, SALTY AND SWEET. Questions: What different flavours do you know? Which are your favourite tastes?
- Did you know that the sense of taste is connected to the sense of smell? Does food taste the same when we have a cold and can´t breathe properly?
- In pairs draw a chart in your notebook and write some examples.
BITTER SOUR SWEET SALTY
- Share the answers with the class.
• A healthy tip! Brush your teeth three times a day and brush your tongue too to keep it germ-free.
THE SENSE OF TOUCH
• The skin is the largest organ in the body and is responsible for this sense.
• Our skin is covered with hair and small pores that release sweat. • There are also lots of nerves too that receive information from what
we touch and send it to the brain.
What organ can you see?
• The students touch different objects and they have to say if they are: soft, smooth, hard, rough, cold…
Other activity…
On the other hand…
Finally…
• We could make the students touch different objects and we introduce all the objects in a large bag.
As a complementary activity…
• The pupils will be blindfolded and will have to guess what the object is and say what type of touch it has.
• How does it feel? Is it soft or hard? Is it smooth or rough? Is it cold? Is it warm? Can you describe the object?
- What organ can you see?- What is it for? - What does the olfactory nerve send to the brain?
• Air gets in through the nostrils. Inside our nose, the olfactory nerve gets information from the air and sends it to the brain.
Let’s see the following picture:
- What smells do you like?- Do you like the smell of petrol?- Do any smells remind you of anything?
Copy the following words and write what smell they make you think of: Beach, Zoo, Newspaper, Swimming Pool, Bakery, Classroom* Follow this example: The smell of the beach makes me think of sunscreen.
