Kindergarten Science Games: The Five Senses

Our Five Senses: Sense of Smell- We use our nose to smell. We can differentiate between a yummy cookie and a fresh flower through its smell.
Sense of Touch- We touch and feel through our skin. We can feel the difference between a soft rabbit and a hard rock.
Sense of Taste- We use our tongue to taste. Our sense of taste tells us the difference between sugar and salt.
Sense of Hearing- We use our ears to hear. We can hear the difference between cat and dog sound.
Sense to Sight- We use our eyes to see. We can see the different colors in a rainbow.
