Curated OER
Your Five Senses
Students identify the five senses. In this biology lesson plan, students participate in an experiment and use their five senses to identify various substances.
Curated OER
Come to Your Senses
Students explore their senses. For this biology lesson plan, students will learn about their senses, what affects them, and how the brain works to control our senses in a series of lab activities.
Curated OER
The Five Senses
Learners explore the 5 senses. In this biology lesson plan, students demonstrate the ability to identify objects through the use of the five senses as they complete 5 activities.
Curated OER
Taste Buds
Students investigate taste buds. In this biology lesson, students taste several sweet, sour, and salty foods to identify how their taste buds play a role in how things taste.
Curated OER
Making Sense of Things: The Human Body and Senses
Students conduct an experiment to evaluate the accuracy of their senses.
Curated OER
Perception and Observation
Students use common and unusual objects to make observations of details, design, and functionality. They describe and draw each object while working in small groups. The differences between observation and perception is covered as part...
Curated OER
Using the senses
Pupils use their senses to compare a frog and a hamster. In this animals comparison lesson plan, students get into groups and observe, smell, feel, and listen to what their animals are like, and classify them into categories.
Curated OER
Making Connections: Exploring Our Brains through the Five Senses
Learners identify structures of the brain, and neurons and analyze their functions. In this nervous system lesson students create drawings and models of anatomy.
Curated OER
Making Connections: Exploring Our Brains through the Five Senses
Learners record observations and create drawings and models of anatomy using their five senses. They describe the structures of a neuron and analyze each of their functions. They compare and contrast the typical structural features of a...
Curated OER
What Does Your "Homunculus" Look Like?
Students investigate the density of touch receptors in various parts of the body. They discover how the body senses various stimuli, then maps a picture of the "homunculus" of the experimental subject.
Curated OER
Brain and Senses
Students investigate the brain through multiple senses. In this biology lesson, students experiment with different activities involving taste, memory, touch, and sight to understand how the brain works. Students work in partners and...
Curated OER
Outrageous Ooze
Students examine states of matter. In this solids and liquids lesson plan, students conduct a scientific investigation that requires them to make ooze and record their observations pertaining to it.
Curated OER
Life Underground
First graders build a terrarium in order to observe animal and plant life dynamics. In this biology instructional activity, 1st graders compare how organisms survive in different environments. They write their observations and analysis...
Curated OER
What Does Your "Homunculus" Look Like?
Students determine the density of touch receptors in various parts of the body on the right hand side. They use collected data to draw a picture of the
"homunculus" of an experimental subject.
Curated OER
What's That Tree?
Fifth graders identify trees along a nature trail. Using a dichotomous key, 5th graders answer questions to aid in their identification of trees along a specified nature trail. Observations are recorded in their science journals. Sample...
