Making Sense of Our 5 Senses

 This week the students finished presenting their research projects on the five senses to their classmates. 

We had presentations on the nose, tongue and skin.

In order to clarify many details from the students presentations, we inquired further into how the sense organs carry signals to the brain by spending more time sorting out labels and drawing our own diagrams for each organ. 

We also also simulated the sensory organs and  nervous system with the  students playing a telephone type game passing messages on to the brain. 

For homework, they will need to explain how two or more of the organs work by posting their diagrams into Seesaw and then record their explanations.

In math we started to wrap up our unit on geometry and are focusing more on numeracy. Today, we looked at different ways to represent a number - with numeral, words, equations and even drawings. 

Finally in PE we continued with new cooperative games such as leap frog and under the rainbow race.
