We learned about senses.

~Today's documentation about our visit from "Let's Talk Science!" was written by 
Owen, Patrick, Keegan, Liam, Ayden and Payton.~


We touched stuff, and smelled stuff, and we feeled stuff, we looked at things.

First we tried to guess what was in the bag. We used our senses.



It was a dog bone!

At the feeling centre, we touched stuff in a bag and tried to guess what was in the bag. 

"I felt the four feet....and the round ears!"

There was a worm, a frog, and a fish in the bags. It was easy to guess what was in the bag because the worm was squishy.

"It didnt't feel like that, or that or this!" (pointing at choices)

"It's not a frog because it didn't feel flat."

At the sound table, we heard the pencil hitting the table. We put wood against our ears and listened. And we put dirt and water against our ears. 
"I can't hear you through the soil."



"Blocks are easier to hear through."

We heard best through the wood and the worst through the dirt. We could hear through water too.


At the looking centre,we looked through bug eyes.

"You look like a flower!"

And we looked though eagle binoculars.
"I can see more with the eagle eyes."


We tried to look for frogs in the picture.



At the smelling centre, we smelled bottle with smells in them. Like lemon, candy, vanilla ice cream, candy canes, flowers, and vinegar chips. The vinegar didn't smell good.

"Ahhh it smells like perfume."
We learned that scientists use all their senses to observe. We also learned that animals like dogs use their senses to help find food.

volunteered their time to deliver this great program!~
