Lesson Plan

My Senses Tell Me...:

In this lesson, students learn about their five senses. This lesson encourages students to explore their environment using their senses, first in an open-ended way, and then in a more reflective way. Using student sheets to record their observations, students work in small groups at five "Sense Stations," where they document what they smell, taste, see, hear, and feel. Next, students are asked to be "sense detectives" at the sense stations and to document their clues on their student sheets. Students use these clues to write a "Sense Mystery."
