MY FIVE SENSES

The purpose of this presentation is to promote discussion among

my students about their five senses.

It will also introduce the students to terms that are opposite.

Five Senses

recognition use

shared

location

care

Using Power Point

I will use this specific power point program early in the school year to teach my first science unit which ties in with my first reading theme. I hope to create other power point presentations throughout the year to supplement my science lessons since we do not have a science book in first grade. My students work on several projects throughout the year which they present orally to the class. As the year goes on I would like to have my students create an individual slide about their project. I would like to incorporate all these slides into a power point presentation that could then be shown to their parents.

Hearing Problems

People sometimes must use hearing aids to help them hear .

People who are deaf hear music through vibrations.

With our nose we smell…flowers smoke

garbage

What animal stays safe because of our sense

of smell?

Some smells remind us of things.

Most of your sense of taste is really about your sense of smell.

Bloodhounds smell at least 1000 times better than humans.

As you get older, your sense of smell gets worse.

With our mouth we can taste…

sweet bitter

salty

sour

Name the taste

Fish can taste with their fins and tail as well as their mouth.

In general, girls have more tastebuds than boys.

With your skin you can feel…

Your skin is your largest sense organ.

There are about 100 touch receptors in each of your fingertips.

Your sense of touch warns your brain that your body is in danger.
