My Senses: Hearing, Taste and Touch — Interactive Lesson (Year 1)

Which part of your body tells you a drum is loud, a lemon is sour or an ice cube is cold? This 13-slide interactive lesson on five senses builds understanding one small step at a time, with 7 self-marking activities and nothing to prepare beforehand.

Teaching My Senses: Hearing, Taste and Touch in KS1 Science

Children review all five senses, then focus on three: hearing with the ears, tasting with the tongue and feeling with the skin. They sort foods into sweet, sour and salty, decide which sense they would use for a drum, a bird song and an ice cube, and learn to cover their ears when a noise is too loud.
