What are the five senses? - What can my ears do? - Worksheet

The five senses are the primary means through which we interact with our environment, and they include sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. This worksheet specifically explores the sense of hearing, which is facilitated by our ears. Students are encouraged to engage with words associated with the ears such as 'ear lobe', 'hear', 'hearing aid', 'listen', 'sound', 'whisper', and 'silent'. These words highlight the different aspects and functions of our ears and our ability to perceive sound.

The activity further prompts students to draw a picture of their ear, fostering a connection between the theoretical concept of hearing and their own bodies. Additionally, they are asked to list five actions that their ears can perform, which may include detecting various sounds, from the softest whisper to the loudest noise, and even appreciating the absence of sound in silence. The worksheet aims to provide a practical understanding of one of our five senses, prompting students to consider the seen body parts involved and the roles they play in everyday life.
