90' Lesson on The Five Senses
Biology, Life Sciences, Science, Human Body, Grade 1, 2, 3, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets & Printables
For first through third grades, this 90-minute course makes the five senses come to life in a way that is both instructive and genuinely enjoyable. We begin with "The Five Senses | The Dr. Binocs Show"—a video that kids genuinely like watching—and then go into activities that allow them to immediately apply what they have learned. The hands-on part is where the real magic happens. Students participate in a "Sound Hunt" to identify various sounds, become "Color Detectives" looking for particular colors across the classroom, and reach into mystery bags to make educated guesses about what's inside based only on feel and scent. There will be many "ooh!" and "what IS that?" moments. It goes beyond simply listing the five senses, though. We've included opportunities for children to relate their feelings to what they're going through. A warm blanket makes you feel secure. A song we love brings us joy. We are reminded of home by the scent of freshly made cookies. Children naturally acquire empathy and emotional awareness thanks to these small connections. The worksheet encourages children to think creatively while cooperating through matching games, sketching prompts, and reflection questions. Simply print and go—no difficult preparation is required. This scientific lesson is perfect if you're searching for one that also fosters emotional intelligence. Your pupils will exercise teamwork, hone their observational abilities, and get a greater understanding of how their senses influence each day.
