5 Senses Study

Today your scientists practiced using their five senses to explore the world around them! Take a look!

Here you see our learners using their sense of taste to discern whether they like green apples or clementines the most. Shockingly to me, green apples won out! I loved hearing their language; juicy, sweet, sour, crunchy... Ask your thinker about it!





Below scientists use their sense of touch to make claims about what might be in the bags. You would be amazed by the language your learners already have and are learning from one another! 


As these thinkers stated their claims as to what might be in the bag we recorded their evidence for their thinking. Take a look at the claims below and explanations they gave as to the why.  It's kind of messy, but, well, science is!



This may have been my favorite! I placed a bar of soap, vinegar, peppermint and basil in cups. Then I covered each cup with a paper towel. Scientists were invited to smell each cup and record whether they did or did  not like the smells. I loved hearing their language and seeing their faces as they explored!






The results...




Listening closely to tuning forks and studying how different sounds can be made :-)




Below you will see scientists using their sense of sight to observe color tools.




We love science in the Fawn Room!!
Thank you for sharing your scientists with me! I hope they are able to explain and share some of our learning at home!
:-)
