Touch

We finished up our 5 senses unit with touch. The boys placed one hand in cold water and one hand in warm water, and then placed both hands in room temperature water. It was amazing to feel that the temperatures of the hands switched. The cold hand turned hot, and the hot hand turned cold!



We also used our sense of touch to find out what was in the mystery bags. The most difficult bag was the sand covered tape.

Taste

We talked about taste during science this week. We found out that we can taste four different types of food: sour, salty, sweet, and bitter. Can you guess who tried something sour?

We see with our eyes

We are learning about our five senses in Seventh Age science. Today the junior scientists practiced trying to place a piece of tape in the middle of the circles. It was interesting to feel what it we be like to rely on our other senses.




Nice try...



We also had target practice using one eye. We found out that we needed both our right and left eye in order to land the counters in the cup.
