Song about five senses
Recite the poem learned with action
I am a child, who feels so glad
I have two eyes to see everything around me.
I have two ears to hear sounds both far and near.
I have a nose to smell odors i can tell.
I have a tongue to tell me if food is sweet and salty.
And I have my hands to feel hot and warm, cold and chill.
Ask the following questions:
- What makes the child see everythings around him?
- What makes the child hear sounds far and near?
- What makes him smell odor?
- What makes him tell that foods are sweet or salty?
- What makes him feel hot or cold?
B. Presentation
a. Let the pupils use the information on the poem read to discuss what helped them tell different things around them.
b. Introduce the word “senses by saying that senses help us learn about things around us. Naming the different senses associated with the sense organs
Senses Sense organ
sight 
hearing 
smell 
taste 
touch 
C. Let the pupils watch the video clip about five senses. Ask questions after watching.
D. Present the utility box with variety of materials. Have them find ways of learning more about the materials by touching, smelling etc.
E. How do you learn about things?
Have them read:
Science is learning about things. You learn about things by the use of your senses. This process is called observation. You observe when u look at things, smell them, hear them, feel them and taste them. You can identify the things that you observed by their color, shape, texture, size, odor, taste and weight.
F. Identify the materials that are found in your utility box. What sense and sense organ did you use to identify and name each of them?
G. Concept Formation
Let them discuss their answers using the pictures and have them tell what helped them from identifying and naming each object.
H. Generalization:
What is the specific work of our eyes, ears, nose, skin and tongue?
I. Application:
1. What do you think would happen if you do not have sense of sight? Sense of smell? etc.
2. Why are your eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin important?
IV. Evaluation:
Under column B. write the sense and under C. write the sense organ used for the observation in column A.
