The Five Senses!
Our Five Senses
• Sight• Hearing• Touch• Taste• Smell
Sight• We see with our eyes
– Iris: largest part of the eye; colored
– Pupil: centre of the iris; black; light enters eye through pupil
– Lens: behind pupil; used to focus on objects
– Retina: nerve carries information we see to brain
More on Sight…
• Eyelids, eyelashes, eyebrows, and lachrymal glands help to protect our eyes from too much light and particles in the air
Draw 3 things you can see.
What did you draw??
Hearing!
• We hear with our ears– Ear flap & ear canal (external
ear): protected by small hairs and wax
– Eardrum, anvil, hammer, stirrup (middle ear): group of small bones
– Cochlea (inner ear): sense of balance is also located in the inner ear
How We Hear
• Sounds enter the external ear
• Sounds travel through ear canal to eardrum
• Eardrum vibrates, sound travels to inner ear, to a nerve, then to the brain
*Careful! Loud sounds can damage your ears!!
Find three things in the room you can hear.
What kinds of sounds do they make?
Touch
• We touch with our fingers
• Sense of touch is in the skin that covers our body—especially in our hands– Fingerprints are the
distinct lines on our fingertipsBraille: alphabet used by
blind people; touch letters with fingertips
What are adjectives for how things feel when you touch
them?
Soft, squishy, hard, rough, wet, cold, hot…
Taste
• We taste with our mouth– Tongue: organ we use
to detect different flavours
– Taste buds: small bumps on tongue that pick up flavors
Sweet, sour, bitter, salty
Draw 2 things that taste good and 2 things that taste bad.
What do you think tastes good? Bad?
Smell
• We smell with our nose– Nostrils: external
openings
– Nasal cavities: internal cavities
– Septum: separates the nostrils and naval cavity
More on Smell…
• Hairs and mucus membrane protect the nasal cavities by filtering the air that we breathe
• Pituitary gland: helps us to detect smell; covers nasal cavities
*Nose helps the tongue
to taste our food!!
