Discovering with Senses

You have five senses—seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching. These help you explore and learn about the world.

The Five Senses

• Sight: Use your eyes to see colors, shapes, and movement.
• Hearing: Use your ears to listen to sounds like music or birds singing.
• Smell: Use your nose to sniff flowers or food.
• Taste: Use your tongue to taste sweet, sour, or salty things.
• Touch: Use your skin to feel if something is hot, cold, soft, or rough.

Real Life Science

When you bake cookies, you smell them, see them turn golden brown, hear the timer, feel the warm cookie, and taste the yummy treat!

Safety First

Always ask an adult before smelling or tasting something you don’t know.
