No. Everyone’s brain is about the same size.^109
Skin and touch
Nerves in your skin
tell you if things feel
hard, soft, hot, or cold.
They also warn you of
danger by making
Brown you feel pain.
sugarGrapesEyes and seeing
Your eyes have special nerves
that pick up light. They send
messages to your brain, telling
you what you are looking at.Ears and hearing
Your ears catch sounds and send
them deep inside your head.
Nerves send messages about
the sounds to your brain.Nose and smelling
Nerves inside your nose
tell you what you are
smelling. Some things,
such as this rose,
smell nice. Other
things smell terrible!Tongue and tasting
You taste with your tongue.
It is covered with tiny
bumps, called taste buds,
which pick up tastes
from your food.Your senses
You know what is happening
around you by seeing,
hearing, smelling, tasting,
and touching things. These
are called your senses.
Your eyes see
the pictures,
then your
brain tells
you what
they are.Your ears pick
up loud and
soft sounds.Can you tell what you are
touching, without looking?Spaghetti(^)
