Five Senses Review

 Show image 1A-1: Five photos demonstrating senses

• Invite students to come up to the picture one at a time and point to a
  picture and say the sense and its associated body part: sight (eyes),
  hearing (ears), taste (tongue), smell (nose), and touch (skin/hands).


• Then use Image Cards 1–5 to review each of the senses. Alternatively,
  you may have students use the Response Cards for The Five Senses
  to answer questions. As you show each Image Card, ask: “What body
  part is this and how do you use it?”

What Have We Learned?

• Remind students that they learned about their ears and the sense of
  hearing.

• Ask students, “How does the buzzing sound of the bee get into your
  ear?”
  [Encourage students to use the words: sound waves, invisible, bounce
  off, vibrate, and eardrum.]


• If they have a hard time telling how sound gets into their ear, explain
  to them that invisible sound waves go into their ears and bounce off
  their eardrums. Like real drums, their eardrums vibrate back and forth
  and these vibrations get sent to their brain, and their brain can figure
  out what sound made the vibrations.
  [If available, demonstrate with a real drum.]
  Five Senses Chart


• Give each student a copy of Instructional Master 2C-1. Instruct
  them to draw or find pictures from Instructional Master 1C-2 or from
  magazines to cut and paste onto their chart.


• Prompt students by asking: “Which body part is used for the sense of
  hearing? What can you do with the sense of hearing?”


• After students have finished filling in their chart for the sense of
  hearing, have them discuss with their partner or home-language
  peers what they put onto their chart.
