Using Our Senses

In science this week we are learning about all the different things that a scientist does.  We learned that scientists ask questions and look for different ways to answer their questions.  We also learned that scientists uses their 5 senses.

Today we learned about the different ways things feel.  We talked the differences between smooth, soft, bumpy and pointy things.  Some of the ideas we came up with as examples were

Soft
Care Bears
Blankets
Tissues

Bumpy
Bristle Blocks
Sidewalks
Beaded Necklaces

Pointy
Scissors
Pencils
Porcupines

Smooth
White Boards
Books
Pattern Blocks

We then were given a basket with objects in it, and decided what they felt like!  Can you find things in your house that feel different?
