Pre-K Science · World 2: My Body and Senses · Level 12
Smell, Taste, and Touch
Know that the nose smells, the tongue tastes, and skin feels.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.
For grown-ups
Your child learns that the nose smells, the tongue tastes, and skin feels, and to taste only food a grown-up gives them. We suggest reading it together.
What children learn in Level 12
- Our nose smells. Sniff, sniff! Cookies smell yummy. Trash smells stinky!
- Our tongue tastes. A lemon tastes sour. Watermelon tastes sweet.
- Our skin feels. Our hands feel soft, hard, bumpy, hot, and cold.
- We only taste food a grown-up gives us. Your turn! What do you smell a flower with? Your nose!
- Try it with a grown-up! Put three things in a bag, like a sock, a spoon, and a ball. Reach in and feel. Can you guess each one?
