Let's Talk Science - Feast of the Senses

We had some volunteers come in to run some activities to reinforce the things we are learning about our senses.  The children were really excited to learn more about smelling, sight, hearing, touching and tasting.  They were a little sad there was nothing to eat.

This child is checking out a clicker and a bag of sand.

The first station is where they checked to see if they could hear through different objects.  Can you hear the click through the wood?  Can you hear the click through the water?  Can you hear the click through the sand?

We decided it was the most difficult to hear through the wood.

I like to call the next one the hide and seek box.  The children were asked to look through different holes and find objects.  It was very hard not to grab out the things we were seeing inside.

The next one was a smelling station.  We tried to match the scents with the pictures.  It was really tricky sometimes.

The last station was a feeling station.  We held different bags in our hands and felt what was inside the bag.  There was a picture attached to the bag.  The picture was of an animal.  That was our only clue to figure out what was inside.

To wrap up the time spent we all found a spot on the carpet and listened to a noise machine and tried to figure out the noise.
