Teaching and response guide
- Model the target skill: identify the five human senses: Sight, Hearing, Smell, Taste, and Touch. Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
- Check readiness first: Name eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin and describe familiar observations.
- Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: A sense is not the same as its organ; several senses can help investigate one object.
Watch for: A sense is not the same as its organ; several senses can help investigate one object.
Check the answer criteria for each task. A supported explanation may have more than one acceptable response. These activities offer evidence to discuss; completing a sheet alone does not establish mastery.
