This activity is an introductory exercise geared towards 6th graders. It teaches them that we use all of our senses when making scientific observations.
Key Words:
vision, scientific observation, 2 point discrimination, taste
I'm looking for activities to do at the beginning of the year to help the students realize that you use all of your senses when making scientific observations.
