Young scholars use their senses to make observations about their community and the world. They sort and describe picture cards by senses, read a story, take a sensory walk around the school, and discuss common good.

Students participate in an experiment that shows them how to use their senses to find their way "home." This experiment is based on the video that shows how salmon find their way to their home stream.

Students participate in various hands-on activities to determine what life is like without the sense of sight.

What fun, simple number value activities these are! Using dot cards and ten frames, 34 educational games are briefly described to help diversify these great strategies. For example, in the game "I Wish I Had..." the teacher holds up a...

Pupils participate in an interactive video to review the five senses. They perform hands-on activities to test their sense of hearing and play a hearing game from the Internet.

Students investigate the sense of touch. In this senses lesson plan, students use their sense of touch to predict what objects are inside of a bag by feeling them with their eyes closed.

Young scholars investigate their sense of touch to help become more descriptive with their observations. In this sensory lesson plan, students reach inside a box to feel an object then guess what it is.  Young scholars then...

Students conduct various experiments to see if different parts of the tongue are more sensitive to different characteristics of food.

Students read stories about the past and present and discuss the concept of old and new. In this old and new lesson plan, students discuss what makes something old and what makes it new by using stories as a reference.

Investigate the nervous system of an earthworm! Your class gets into pairs to test, record, and draw conclusions about the reaction earthworms have to different stimuli (sound, light, and smell).

Students discover that the sense of smell helps us to enjoy life and explore unsafe conditions. They smell Christmas by making gingerbread ornaments.
