The Standard

Recognize the five senses and related body parts.

Florida Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for Science

Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students name sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. They match each sense to the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, or skin.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student correctly names all five senses and points to the related body parts. The student can tell which sense is used in a simple situation.
Common Misconceptions: Students may confuse smell with taste or say that the mouth senses taste instead of the tongue. They may think touch happens only through the hands, not the skin.
How to Assess It: Show pictures of a bell, flower, lemon, soft blanket, and rainbow. Ask students to name the main sense and body part used for each.

Lesson moves

Place safe objects at five sense stations, then have students identify the sense and body part used at each station.
Ask, "Which sense would you miss most at breakfast, and why?" Record or draw one response.
Play Sense Match by having students pair picture cards of objects with cards showing eyes, ears, nose, tongue, or skin.
Take a school walk and have students name one thing they can see, hear, smell, or touch safely.
