It includes five science stations, one for each of the five senses! Keep reading to learn more about each science investigation station.

Sense of Sight Bottles 

Using recyclable bottles and filler material (rice, beans, etc.), students will use their sense of sight to search for and find a group of objects hidden in the container.  

Sense of Smell Jars

Using small plastic opaque containers or baby food containers, students will use their 

sense of smell to identify a group of different smells and rate them from good to bad.

No-Peek Sense of Touch Investigation

Using brown paper bags and touch charts, students will explore their sense of touch by placing their hands in each container to identify the object inside.

Sound Jars Exploration

Using baby food containers and brown paper bags, students will explore their sense of hearing by shaking bags containing different materials and then matching them to the image on their chart.

Sense of Taste – Taste Test!

Students will taste a group of food products (baker’s chocolate, lemon, a cookie, and popcorn) and match them to the correct flavors on their chart. (Sweet, sour, bitter and salty)

In this download, you will find materials lists, directions, and student exploration mats to help them discover just how powerful their five senses really are!
