Every year, my students and I always enjoy science. One of my favorite units to teach is "Experimenting with the 5 Senses!" This unit provides hands-on and engaging experiments, where students are encouraged to use the scientific process to explore each sense.
Also included:
-Experimenting with the Senses page that lists materials
-scientific process questions
-procedures for the teacher that outline how to introduce the unit, prepare, teach the lessons, and provide closure. You can even cut and paste the materials & procedures into lesson plans!!
