Introduction
Every day life is surrounded by the need
and usage of our five senses. Young
children use their senses as early tools to explore the world around them and
learn new things. This WebQuest will
help the students to understand the world around them and how they interact
with their environment.
Task
Begin
the unit on the Five Senses by reading “My Five Senses” by Aliki.
The teacher will do a class KWL chart with the students. The teacher will
lead a discussion that outlines what the senses are, what each sense does,
and how several senses are often used together. At the end of the unit, the
students will complete an individual Flip Window book to illustrate their
knowledge of the five senses.
 Process
1.
The teacher
begins by reading “My Five Senses” by Aliki to the whole class. After
a class discussion of the book, the teacher will demonstrate how to use the
internet to locate sites about the five senses.
2.
After reading
the book called “My Five Senses”, the whole class will
participate in a KWL chart. Students
can write or illustrate things that they know and want to know about the five
senses.
3.
During science
time students will participate in activities that allow them to experiment
using their five senses.
4.
Students will
learn the song “The Five Senses Song”
unknown author.
5.
The teacher
will lead the students in a class game to help them to practice and learn
about the five senses.
6.

7.
The students
will end their study of the five senses by creating a five senses Flip Window
book. Using an 11” by 15” piece of construction paper, students

Conclusion
Tell
the students that they have all done a wonderful job exploring their five
senses. Help them to complete the KWL chart by writing or drawing about
something they have learned about the Five Senses. Have them go back to their favorite Five
Senses activities during independent center time. Tell them that now that they have completed
their Flip Books over the five senses, they can write or dictate a sentence about
the pictures they used in the books.
