I Sense a Coconut

I Sense a Coconut
Human beings use their five senses to gather information about the world around them. Each sense provides information about a different aspect of the objects it encounters. Use this simple science activity to let first graders understand the kind of information each of the five senses provide. Kids study a coconut in terms of its taste, smell, look, feel and sound. Then they describe the coconut using the information they gathered. This activity helps reinforce the concept of the five senses and sense organs.
