Our Senses

One of our December units was "Our Senses."  These are some of the activities we participated in to help us learn about the parts of our bodies we use to learn about the world around us:

We used our sense of hearing to play "Sound Bingo,"

we listened to our snack "snap, crackle, and pop,"

we experimented with rubber bands to learn about vibration/sound,

and we learned about high/low tones by experimenting with different levels of water in glasses.  We tapped the glasses to hear the different tones made by the different amounts of colored water, colored corresponding paper glasses and glued them on to a paper strip to make songs, then "played" the songs we created!

We used our hands and our sense of touch to match shapes with their outlines,

and had fun making and playing with "slime."

We did learn about the other senses, but my camera was missing in action for those days :)
