Lesson Extensions
Cross-Curricular Extensions
Review the senses. We learn about the world as we see, hear, smell, and touch what is around us. Have students make four sections on a piece of paper and in each section, record with words or drawings what they notice around them. Afterwards, make a classroom list of their recordings, listing what they heard, saw, smelled, and touched.
- Which list is longest? Which is shortest? Graph these results.
