The Body- Focus on Senses

 

This week we will do an overview of the basic body system and focus on the senses. I will show an empty body outline we will add to as we watch a short audio book on: heart, brain, skeleton, veins and arteries, stomach, intestines, lungs, muscles, and skin. Audio book can be seen here: http://www.apples4theteacher.com/elibrary/bodybook.html

Our experiments will be food based. We will explore the areas of the four basic things the tongue tastes (bitter, sweet, salt, sour). We will also see how smell ties into taste. And lastly we will explore how the loss of sight would affect our lives. 


If you want to try other tasty experiments with your child try any of these:
