Taste Buds
1. Objectives/Essential Question: SWBAT label sections of tongue where taste buds more
efficiently taste sweet, sour, salty and bitter flavors.
2. Standards: 3.1.2.A5 – Explain how different parts of a plant work together to make the
organism function
3. Materials and Equipment
- 30 Dixie cups
- 120 Q-tips
- Apple juice
- Lemon juice
- Salt water
- Grapefruit juice
- 30 copies of tongue worksheet
4. Procedures
- set up each dixie cup with small sample of each liquid
- explain Ss want to find the part of their tongue that most strongly tastes each flavor
- show them worksheet and explain they are to write where on the tongue they taste
each flavor strongest (see attached sheet)
- explain safety precaution of not double dipping; if they need to taste it again, to use a
new q-tip end
- give groups a 3 minutes or so to do experiment – explain how to wrap up for the day
and move to next experiment
- grand conversation (open discussion) about where their taste buds tasted each flavor
stronger
5. Special Considerations
- Enrichment: Encourage students to find food in their own home that are sour, sweet,
salty, and bitter and make a list of the items to share the next day before we start the
next experiment.
- Special Accommodations: If there is a student with an allergy, I will have a substitute
flavor that he/she is able to consume.

Touch Lesson Plan
1. Objectives/Essential Question
SWBAT identify different textures by touching objects inside of a mystery box.
Students will discover objects based only on the sense of touch.
Students will begin to realize that all senses are needed to work together.
2. Standards3.1.2.A 5 – Explain how different parts of a plant work together to make the organism function.
3. Materials and Equipment9 shoe boxes
3 bananas
3 socks
3 pom poms
It feels like worksheet
5 senses unit worksheet
Paper towels
4. Procedures
A. Getting Ready (Introduction)
Before the lesson the teacher will prep 9 shoe boxes with the three
mystery items in them. She will also gather paper towels for the students to
wipe off their hands. Stations will be set-up prior to the lesson beginning.
i. Opening statement: “Good morning boys and girls! Today, we are going
to explore another sense, the sense of touch. Can anyone tell me what
touch is?”
ii. The teacher will then pass around objects to students that are soft, hard,
smooth, and rough. “What sense do you use when observing how an
object feels? What body parts do you use to observe how things feel?”
Ask students to describe what the objects feel like. After hearing some
responses, introduce the words rough, smooth, hard, soft and texture.
Place the words in a pocket chart and ask students to describe which
item they were holding felt rough, smooth, hard, and soft. (cotton ball,
rock, hair brush, and piece of silk) Explain that texture is the way that
something feels when you touch it.
iii. Disclaimer – “in most situations it is not safe to just place your hands
inside something that you are unaware of what is in it. You never know
what could be in the boxes so keep that in mind in the future. For today
however, I have selected everything that went into the boxes and I can
guarantee you that they are all safe to touch. “
iv. Expectations
Students are anticipated to use their prior knowledge to distinguish
the different textures of the objects inside the box.
Students will be able to use their sense of touch and their new
vocabulary words to describe the items in the mystery boxes.
B. During (Motivation)
i. The class will be divided into three groups. Each group will have 3 shoe
boxes with a different object in each. (banana, yarn, sock) Explain to
students that they will take turns touching the object inside the box and
will be able to guess what it is by only using their sense of touch. In other
words, no peaking! The student can make a guess of what the object is,
and then say whether the object is rough, smooth, hard, or soft. The
students will take note of this on their paper and then move on to do the
next box. Model for students how to do this and then break the students
into the groups. Walk around and provide assistance as needed.
ii. Hints: While participating in the mystery box activity, the teacher will
walk around the classroom and ask questions such as “is the item more
than one texture?” or “What was the first thing you thought about when
you touched it?” or “What does the texture of this object remind you
of?”
iii. Testing Ideas: At the end of the unit, the students will complete a 5
senses unit worksheet where they will describe their favorite experiment
and why and also draw a picture of it. They will then share these with the
class in order for the class to have a review of all the different
experiments that were done throughout the week.
C. After (Closure/Summarizing Strategy)
i. Ask students to sit on the rug. Show the PowerPoint titled “We Can Feel.”
Review the vocabulary words and ask for examples of how and when we use
the sense of touch. Have students describe what they felt in each of the
boxes. Take guesses on what was in them and then show the students what
was inside of them! Have students turn in papers.
D. Assessment/Evaluation
Assess students’ ability to orally say why our sense of touch is important.
Assess students’ ability to orally say what we use for our sense of touch.
Collect the students’ papers to see how they described each mystery object to check their understanding.
Collect the 5 senses unit worksheet to see what the students were able to remember.
5. Assignments (if any)
Find 4 objects at home that represent the texture categories of our touch sense and draw them on a piece of paper. Ex: soft, hard, smooth, rough
6. Special Considerations
A. Enrichment Have two to three extra boxes with items that will be more difficult
for the students to figure out what is inside of them. Add more textures to the mix (ex: slimy, gritty, etc.) so that the
students can be more descriptive to what they are feeling.
B. Special Accommodations
Allow the students to actually see what is inside the boxes to help
give them a better understanding of what they are touching so that
they can figure out what the texture of the materials are.
The teacher will be cautious of any allergies that may cause reactions
to this activity, and will make adjustments accordingly.
Directions: Using only your sense of touch, place your hand in the box. Feel around and decide what you think it is. Write your answer on the line by the number that matches the number on the box.
Remember, NO peeking in the boxes! I will show everyone what the objects are at the end of the activity!

The Smell Detectives
Objectives/Essential Question
While wafting the scents of alcohol, pickle juice, perfume, and chlorine, students will
discover how smell forms connections in the brain to specific objects.
Students will be able to understand how the sense of smell provides an awareness of
their surroundings.
Standards
3.1.2.A5 – Explain how different parts of a plant work together to make the organism
function
Materials and Equipment
24 Cotton balls
24 Dixie Cups
24 Small Cardboard Squares
Alcohol
Pickle Juice
Perfume
Chlorine (pool water)
Observation Worksheets
Sniff, Sniff: A Book About SmellBy: Dana Meachen Rau
Procedures
C. Getting Ready (Introduction)
i. Task
Before the lesson, the teacher will prepare 24 Dixie cups with one
cotton ball per cup containing a scent. There will be six cotton balls of
the following scents: alcohol, pickle juice, perfume, and chlorine. Each
cup will have a cardboard lid that will be taped on one side. Stations
will be set-up prior to the lesson beginning.
Opening statement: “Good morning boys and girls! Today, our unit
about the five senses will continue as we focus on smell. First, I will be
reading you a book called Sniff, Sniff to help us understand how our
body smells and why it is so important. Then, there is a very fun smell
activity for everyone to participate in. Now, please take a minute to
think about what you believe the word smell means.”
o Children are anticipated to explain that smell is when you sniff
something to find out its scent or smell is what your nose does
to find out what is in the air.
o Teacher will state, “Everyone had such great answers! Let’s
listen carefully to the story to find out exactly what smell
means and how it works.”
Following the opening statement, students will gather on the reading
carpet to listen to the story. The teacher will stop at certain points to
discuss the new important terms mentioned, such as odor, nostrils,
cilia, and mucus.
o Discussion about good and bad smells and how the nose
allows us to smell will immediately follow the reading. During
this time, the teacher will explain how important it is not to
inhale smells, but rather to waft them. Inhale and waft are
two words that will be added to the unit vocabulary list and
classroom word wall.
The teacher will introduce the smell activity as follows, “Today, I will
assign groups to complete the activity at one of the seven stations in
the back of the classroom. When you go to your station there will be
four Dixie cups with a lid. Your job will be to lift the lid and waft the
smell. (Pause and demonstrate wafting the smell with a Dixie cup;
check for understanding). Then, you will write on your observation
paper what you think that smells isin the spot that matches the color
dot on the plastic cup. (Show the worksheet, point out the colors, and
provide an example that is not apart of the activity, such as a flower
scent) When you finish smelling each cup return to your seats so I
know who is done. I will be walking around the classroom to answer
any questions.”
Students will be assigned groups and will begin the activity at their
designated station.
ii. Expectations
Students are anticipated to use their prior knowledge to distinguish
the four scents. For example, the chlorine may remind a student of
when he/she took swimming lessons or the perfume may remind
another students about his/her grandma’s scent when she gives great
big hugs.
Students should begin to gain an understanding on how smell can be
used to be aware of their surrounding. For example, if chlorine is
being smelled there is probably a pool near by.
D. During (Motivation)
i. Hints: While participating in the smell activity, the teacher will walk
around the classroom and ask questions such as “Does the smell remind
you of something” or “What was the first thing you thought about when
you wafted the smell?”
ii. Testing Ideas: At the end of the unit, the students will complete an
observation worksheet that requires them to write one or two sentences
about their favorite activity and draw a picture of it.
E. After (Closure/Summarizing Strategy)
i. Discussion: Once all the students have completed the activity, the class
will form a circle for a closure discussion. First, the teacher will ask the
students what they thought about the activity. Questions such as “Did
you enjoy this activity” or “Was there something that could have made it
better” will be asked. Then, the teacher will ask students what they
thought the scent of each cup could be and thoughts that helped them
reach that conclusion. Predictions will be listed on the board for each
cup. After discussing all the cups, the teacher will release what the actual
scents were.
F. Assessment/Evaluation:
Although there is no formal assessment to follow this lesson, the teacher
will take note of the students’ predictions of what each scent could be
and the possible connections from past experiences formed.
Assignments
No assignments will be given following the completion of the activity.
Special Considerations
G. Enrichment
Students who may benefit from an enrichment activity will be assigned to
identify scents, such as nail-polish remover, bananas, and rose pedals,
ginger. They will be required torate them on a 1 (very strong) to 5 (very
weak smell) scale.
H. Special Accommodations
The teacher will be cautious of any allergies that may cause reactions to
this activity, and will make adjustments accordingly.
Visual and auditory learners will be accommodated through reading the
book, and tactile learners will be accommodated through the smell
activity. Visual learners will also benefit from the observation worksheet,
and auditory learners will be accommodated through the story reading
and discussion, and closure discussion
