Peek In Our Week ^^^ Thee Buckeye Class ^^^ Week Of 1/27/2025 through 1/31/2025

The 5 Senses:

This week we delved in the subject of the five senses. We decided the sense of touch is not limited to your fingertips but almost everywhere on your body(did you ever step on a Lego in your bare feet?). The foot sends a message to the brain and the brain tells you that you should say “OUCH!” We can hear loud/soft, high/low pitched sounds. As the sound travels though or ear canal and hits our eardrum the vibrations send a message to the brain on what kind of sound you hear. We see with our eyes and see bright and dark colors. We smell with our nose and particles land in the cilia. Then the cilia sends a message to the brain and the brain decides if the smell is good or bad. We have taste buds on our tongue and when the food or drink hit the buds a signal is sent to the brain. The brain then tells you if it is yucky or yummy. We experimented with all senses but the experiment of taste was the most fun…. see below The Wall Of Disgust.
