|Course Unit: |Embedded Inquiry |

|Lesson Title: |Five Senses |

|LESSON OVERVIEW |Summary of the task, challenge, investigation, career-related scenario, problem, or community link |

| |

|In this lesson plan we will be learning about the five senses. |

|The five senses are sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing. |

|We use our eyes to see. |

|An example would be seeing the different colors in a rainbow. |

|We use our nose to smell. |

|An example would be smelling flowers and apple pies. |

|We use our mouth and tongue to taste. |

|An example would be to taste the difference between sugar and salt |

|We use our ears to hear. |

|An example would be hearing the different sounds that animals make. |

|We use our body and hands to feel. |

|An example would be feeling the difference between soft and hard or smooth and rough. |

|STANDARDS |Identify what you want to teach. Reference State, Common Core, ACT College Readiness Standards and/or State |

| |Competencies. |

| |

|GLE 0107.Inq.1 Observe the world of familiar objects using the senses and tools. |

|GLE 0107.Inq.2 Ask questions, make logical predictions, plan investigations, and represent data. |

|GLE 0107.Inq.3 Explain the data from an investigation. |

|OBJECTIVE |Clear, Specific, and Measurable – NOT ACTIVITIES |

| |Student-friendly |

| |

|0107.Inq.1 Use senses and simple tools to make observations. |

|0107.Inq.2 Communicate interest in simple phenomena and plan for simple investigations. |

|0107.Inq.3 Communicate understanding of simple data using age-appropriate vocabulary. |

|0107.Inq.4 Collect, discuss, and communicate findings from a variety of investigations. |

|ASSESSMENT / |Students show evidence of proficiency through a variety of assessments. Aligned with the Lesson Objective |

|EVALUATION |Formative / Summative |

| |Performance-Based / Rubric |

| |Formal / Informal |

| |

|Each student will be evaluated on their ability to make observations and put them in words from each of the sense stations. The students will |

|hand in their observations. They will also be handing in a copy of their Kidspiration activity, which they will also be presenting to the |

|class. Finally, as a class we will be discussing what they learned from this lesson plan and if they understand each of the senses. The |

|teacher can also ask the students questions according to each of the senses. |

| |An Essential Question encourages students to put forth more effort when faced with complex, open-ended, |

| |challenging, meaningful and authentic questions. |

| |

|To begin, teach the students that there are five basic senses which are sight, taste, smell, touch, and hearing. Explain each of the senses |

|individually so the students know what they are, what body part to use, and how to use them to observe the world around them. |

| |

|The first sense is sight, which uses our eyes to see different colors, shapes, movement, humans, and animals. The second sense is taste, which|

|uses our tongue to taste sweet, salty, sour, and bitter foods. The third sense is smell, which uses our nose to smell flowers, food, and bad |

|smells as well. The fourth sense is touch, which uses our skin, hands and other body parts to feel cold, hot, rough, soft, and hard objects. |

|The fifth sense is hearing, which uses our ears to hear the noises around us such as whistles, animal sounds, babies crying, people laughing, |

|and police sirens. |

|INSTRUCTION |Step-By-Step Procedures – Sequence |

| |Discover / Explain – Direct Instruction |

| |Modeling Expectations – “I Do” |

| |Questioning / Encourages Higher Order Thinking |

| |Grouping Strategies |

| |Differentiated Instructional Strategies to Provide Intervention & Extension |

| |

|As a class discuss the five senses through the use of a PowerPoint. |

|GUIDED & INDEPENDENT PRACTICE |“We Do” – “ You Do” |

| |Encourage Higher Order Thinking & Problem Solving |

| |Relevance |

| |Differentiated Strategies for Practice to Provide Intervention & Extension |

| |

|Second, divide the class into 5 small groups. Each group will then be sent to one of the five sense stations. At each of these stations will |

|be an object that they will have to use one of their senses to describe in words. Each group will switch until they have been to all of the |

|sense stations. At the sight station there will be a picture of a rainbow. At the taste station there will be sugar cubes. At the touch |

|station there will be a teddy bear. At the hearing station there will be a bell. At the smell station there will be flowers. Each student will|

|write down their observations on paper from each of the stations. Then, as a class discuss what we observed at each of the five sense |

|stations. |

| |

|Third, divide the class into groups of two to three students. Each group will use the Kidspiration application to do the following activity. |

|Have each group go to their assigned computer and have them open the Using the Senses template from the Kidspiration application under the |

|Science button. In this activity, each group will find different pictures from the symbol library that we use our senses to observe. Then, the|

|students will drag the pictures to the appropriate sense box. Each group will need to find a minimum of 3 pictures for each sense. When the |

|activity is completed, each group will print out a copy of the activity for each of the students in the group and one to be handed in to the |

|teacher. |

| |

|Finally, each group will chose a person from their group to present their Kidspiration activity. |

|CLOSURE |Reflection / Wrap-Up |

| |Summarizing, Reminding, Reflecting, Restating, Connecting |

| |

|After the lesson plan is finished and all the activities have been completed a test may be given to examine what the students learned. Also, |

|the teacher can conduct a science experiment that would incorporate what they have learned about the five senses. In future science |

|experiments I would expect the students to know how to observe what is going on the experiment by using their senses and then being able to |

|write what they observe in words. |
