LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Identify the sense organs and tell their functions.
Determine the ways to take care of the sense organs.
Observe the characteristics of things around you using sense organs.
Learning across curriculum:
1. Mathematics - Students can measure the distance between objects using their sense of sight and determine which objects are closer or farther.
2. Physical Education - Students can engage in activities that require coordination of their sense organs, such as playing catch or balancing on one leg.
3. Health - Students can learn about the importance of taking care of their sense organs and how they contribute to overall health and well-being.
Review Motivation:
1. Show students a variety of objects and ask them to identify which sense organ they would use to observe or interact with each object.
. Play a game of "Guess the Object" where students are blindfolded and have to use their sense of touch to identify different objects.
3. Show a video or read a story about a person with a sensory impairment and discuss how it affects their daily life.
Activity 1: Sense Organ Matching Game
Materials: Pictures or illustrations of sense organs, cards or paper for matching
Instructions:
1. Show the pictures or illustrations of sense organs to the students.
2. Discuss the function of each sense organ and ask students to identify them.
3. Distribute the cards or paper and ask students to match each sense organ with its corresponding function.
4. Review the answers as a class.
Assessment questions:
1. Which sense organ is responsible for tasting food?
2. Which sense organ is responsible for seeing objects?
Activity 2: Sense Organ Observation Walk
Materials: Paper and pencils
Instructions:
1. Take the students for a walk around the school or nearby area.
2. Instruct the students to use their sense organs to observe and identify different characteristics of the things around them.
3. Ask the students to write down their observations on the paper.
4. Discuss the observations as a class and compare the different perspectives.
Assessment questions:
1. What did you observe using your sense of sight during the walk?
2. How did you use your sense of hearing during the walk?
Activity 3: Taking Care of Our Sense Organs
Materials: Poster board, art supplies
Instructions:
1. Divide the students into groups.
2. Assign each group a sense organ to focus on (e.g., eyes, ears, nose, tongue).
3. Instruct the groups to create a poster that shows ways to take care of their assigned sense organ.
4. Each group will present their poster to the class and explain their chosen ways of taking care of the sense organ.
Assessment questions:
1. What are three ways to take care of your sense of touch?
2. How can you protect your sense of smell from harmful substances?
Abstraction:
Discuss with the students the importance of the sense organs and how they contribute to our perception of the world around us. Emphasize the need to take care of our sense organs for overall health and well-being.
Application:
Give the students a real-life problem related to the objective, such as a scenario where they have to identify objects using only their sense of touch. Have them discuss and up with strategies to solve the problem.
ASSESSMENT
create a collage or drawing that represents their favorite sense organ and write a short paragraph explaining why they chose that sense organ.
