Curated OER
Your Five Senses
Students identify the five senses. In this biology instructional activity, students participate in an experiment and use their five senses to identify various substances.
Curated OER
The Tongue...A Sense of Taste
Students explore the sense of taste. In this biology lesson plan, students consider 4 types of tastes, recognize the papillae or receptors on the tongue, and locate and label the different taste sense organs on the tongue.
Curated OER
Taste Buds
Students investigate taste buds. In this biology lesson, students taste several sweet, sour, and salty foods to identify how their taste buds play a role in how things taste.
Curated OER
Come to Your Senses
Students explore their senses. In this biology lesson plan, students will learn about their senses, what affects them, and how the brain works to control our senses in a series of lab activities.
Curated OER
The Investigation Of The Taste Buds
Students explore the sense of taste. In this biology lesson plan, students investigate the sense of tastes as they experience salty, sour, bitter, and sweet tastes. Students then discover how taste buds do their job.
Curated OER
Scents And Sense-Abilities
Students explore how the five human senses function. They work in small groups, each group focusing on a specific sense. Each group then creates a 'Sensing the World' poster which combines all of the information gained through in-class...
Curated OER
Fish Anatomy
Add a handy reference sheet about fish anatomy and functioning to your learners' biology or animal notebooks. Though this resource doesn't provide any practice, it makes a useful addition to any study of anatomy, biology, species, fish,...
Curated OER
Using the senses
Students use their senses to compare a frog and a hamster. In this animals comparison lesson plan, students get into groups and observe, smell, feel, and listen to what their animals are like, and classify them into categories.
Curated OER
Using My Senses
Students observe crickets in the terrarium. Have them record in their journal any evidence of crickets having senses. Then they answer questions like these: How do they use their sense organs? Where are they are located?
Curated OER
Making Connections: Exploring Our Brains through the Five Senses
Students record observations and create drawings and models of anatomy using their five senses. They describe the structures of a neuron and analyze each of their functions. They compare and contrast the typical structural features of a...
Curated OER
Making Sense of Things: The Human Body and Senses
Students conduct an experiment to evaluate the accuracy of their senses.
Curated OER
Brain and Senses
Students investigate the brain through multiple senses. In this biology lesson, students experiment with different activities involving taste, memory, touch, and sight to understand how the brain works. Students work in partners and...
Curated OER
Life Underground
First graders build a terrarium in order to observe animal and plant life dynamics. In this biology lesson, 1st graders compare how organisms survive in different environments. They write their observations and analysis in their journal.
Curated OER
Heredity (Mendelian Genetics)
Students observe and record observations of whether a person is a taster or nontaster. They test selected individuals from their families and peer groups and chart all findings to determine which trait (e.g. taster or non-taster) is...
Curated OER
Making Connections: Exploring Our Brains through the Five Senses
Students identify structures of the brain, and neurons and analyze their functions. In this nervous system lesson students create drawings and models of anatomy.
Curated OER
The Good, the Bad and the Nasty Tasting
Pupils examine the effect of chemicals from marine plants or animals on predator's preferences. In this ecology lesson, students conduct taste tests and collect necessary data. They write their conclusion after analyzing...
Curated OER
Nudibranchs-Splendid Sea Slugs
Students brainstorm a list of colorful animals and research why they are colorful. In this biology lesson, students sketch what a nudibranchs look like before watching a video. They compare their sketch to the actual...
American Statistical Association
You and Michael
Investigate the relationship between height and arm span. Young statisticians measure the heights and arm spans of each class member and create a scatter plot using the data. They draw a line of best fit and use its slope to explain the...
