Touch!

This week, in seventh age science, we are learning about our sense of touch! I placed six mystery bags around the room for each student to touch and guess.

Tasting!

Today we used our sense of taste. We tested the four different types of taste: sweet, salty, sour, and bitter by using sugar, salt, lemon juice, and baking soda. Everyone was excited to taste each product with different parts of their tongues!

Seeing!

This week we are learning about sight! We started off by reading , "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" Then we played a game where we paired off, and one partner had to cover one of their eyes. The partner who had one eye closed directed the other partner when to drop the marker over the cup, in order to get it into the cup. It was really hard with only one eye! At the end of class I tested the students to see if they could say the color of the words, not the word actually printed on the paper. This activity was much more difficult than it looks!

Hearing

We are learning all about our five senses in seventh age science. This week we are focusing on hearing! Each team had to come up with two guesses as to what was inside the mystery container. We had to use our ears because we couldn't use our eyes.

After we unveiled the mystery containers we tried a different kind of game to practice using just our ears. One volunteer sat in a chair and pointed to where the clapping was coming from. It's a lot harder than it looks!
