Lesson video

Hi, everyone, I'm Miss Harris.

Welcome back to another science lesson.

How are you doing today? Can you tell your screen? Great.

Now, some of you might be at school.

Some of you might be at home.

So wherever you are viewing this video from today, I hope that you have had a fantastic day so far.

Now, today, we are going to be learning about the five senses.

Our bodies can do some amazing things.

They can allow us to see the world and the things around us, hear things, and taste really delicious foods.

We're going to be looking at which parts of the body relates to each sense, and we're going to be conducting a sound experiment using our ears, but that's right at the end of the lesson.

So today, let's look at our timetable.

We are going to be recapping what a scientist is, looking at what the five senses are, using our five senses, what you can use your ears for, and lastly, we're going to look at our sound experiment for this week.

Lovely.

So today, you are going to need your exercise book, a pencil, a coloured pencil, and of course your brain.

If you don't have your brain, can you go and get it really quickly, just so that you're ready for today's lesson? Pause the video if you need to go and get it.

Hopefully you've already got it.

Can you check that it's there? I think mine's in my head.

Now, a scientist is a really special person.

Can you remember what a scientist is? So we had some actions to remember what a scientist is.

So let's first, let's read the definition.

So scientists is a person who studies the world around us, including the living or non-living.

So let's do some actions, so we've got a person who studies the world around us, including the living and non-living.

Let's do that one more time.

Can you say it's along with me? It's a person who studies the world around us, including the living and the non-living.

Great job.

Now, we've got some star words.

These are the important words that we're going to be using a lot this lesson, so it's important that we practise.

Are you ready? So it's my turn, then your turn.

Are you ready? Sound.

Can you say it? Good.

Sight.

Taste.

Touch.

Senses.

Smell.

Fantastic.

Now, what are the five senses? Do you know what they are? You might know what they are already because you're a super, super duper bright scientist.

Can you think of one, at least one? So the five senses are, let's have a look, hearing, sight, smell, taste, touch.

Okay, you're going to do those actions with me, you ready? Hearing, sight.

So Miss Harris needs her glasses to help her see.

Smell, pinch your nose.

Taste, stick your tongue out, and touch.

Good job.

So these five senses help us to do all of those wonderful things, to hear, to see, to smell things, to taste things, and to touch things.

Now, I would like you to take a look at our first question.

I would like you to write down the body part which relates to each sense.

So the first one, we know that sight, the body part we use are our eyes.

So I've done that one already.

So in your books or on your paper, can you write down the next one, which is, it is not taste, is smell, sorry, I couldn't see it there, smell.

So you're going to write down smell and the body part you use for that sense.

Pause the video.

Have a go at that now.

Okay, let's check our answers.

So now, you are going to use your coloured pen or pencil and you're going to tick or fix.

So if you tick your answer, that means you've got it right.

If you need to fix it, that means you're going to put a nice, neat line through it and write the correct answer.

It's okay to get things wrong.

I get things wrong all the time.

So the first one, smell.

We use our noses.

So hopefully you wrote nose.

Hearing, we use our ears.

Taste is our tongue.

And lastly, touch.

We use our skin, our hands and our feet to touch things.

Now, I put skin on there, because our whole body is covered with skin, but I can touch something without using my hands, so I can put my arm on it and I can still feel what it's like.

So I can put my hand on my table and know that my table is smooth.

I can do that with my arm, the skin on my arm.

Great job.

Now, if you've got some of those incorrect, use your coloured pencil to tick or fix.

You can pause the video and do that now.

Okay.

Great job.

Now, I would like you to look around you using your eyes.

What can you see around you? Can you point to one thing you can see? Can you say, "I can see," and then say what you can see? So I can see my pencil or pen.

What can you see? Great job.

Now, what can you smell around you? I have a cup of coffee next to me, so all I can smell at the moment is my coffee.

What can you smell? So I can smell mm.

Great job.

You have just used your nose, your sense of smell.

Now, what can you touch around you? So I can touch my hair with my hands.

What can you touch? Great job.

Did you use the sentence, "I can touch?" Well done.

So you may have said I can touch.

I can touch my glass.

That's what I've got here.

I can touch my glass.

You've just used your sense of touch.

Well done.

Now, what can you taste? Can you taste anything near you? Maybe you've just eaten your breakfast and you can still taste your breakfast or maybe your lunch.

What can you taste? So I can taste.

Maybe you can't taste anything because you haven't eaten anything recently.

That's okay.

And lastly, what can you hear around you? I can hear the birds chirping outside.

What can you hear? So you can say, "I can hear." Fantastic.

Well done.

Now, which part of the body do we use for sound, to hear sound? So, the body part I use to hear are my mm.

So I'd like you to write that whole sentence and write down the body that you use to hear sound.

Pause the video.

Have a go at that now.

Excellent, let's check our answers, so get your coloured pen or pencil.

Ready to tick or fix.

So the body part I use to hear are my ears.

Good job.

Well done.

You can remember it by saying, "I can hear with my ears." Can you say that? I can hear with my ears.

Great job.

Now, I am going to play you a sound and I want you to use your sense of hearing, use your ears to hear what sound I am going to play you, then you are going to write down, "I can hear mm," and you're going to write down what you can hear.

Are you ready? Here's the sound.

What sound did you hear? I can hear mm.

Pause the video and write it down now.

Okay.

What sound did you hear? You're right, it was a dog barking, a really loud dog barking.

Great job.

Give yourself a big tick on your piece of paper.

Now, I'm going to tell you about our sound experiment this week.

So for this experiment, you will need your exercise book, or a piece of paper, a pencil, and most importantly, your ears.

We are going to do a sound exploration, experiment.

What sounds can you hear outside? So we've had some really beautiful weather recently.

It's been really sunny.

I would like you to go outside, whether that's in your garden, or for a walk, or for your daily exercise.

I would like you to take your paper and pencil with you and write down what you can hear.

So first, you are going to gather your paper and pencil, then you're going to go outside.

I'd like you to sit really quietly for a moment.

And I'd like you to write down what you can hear.

And lastly, I would like you to identify whether the sound is really loud or quiet.

So if it's really loud, you will hear it really clearly, but if it's really quiet, you might just be able to hear it a little bit.

So at the moment, I can hear a car outside, which is switched on.

I can hear its engine rumbling outside, but it's not that loud.

So I would describe it as a quiet sound, because it's quite far away, so I can't really hear it very clearly.

But a loud noise I might have is I can hear the birds in the tree right outside my window tweeting.

So I would like you to have a go at that experiment this week.

Now, if you would like to share your work with me, you need to ask your parent or carer to send a picture of it on Twitter, using the tag Oak National.

Now, we're at the end of the lesson, so it's time to complete your end of lesson quiz.

The quiz is a really important part to show off all the knowledge you have learned this lesson.

And if you don't want to send me a picture on Twitter of your work, you could send me a picture of the quiz to tell me your score, but remember, your parent or carer has to do it for you.
