Establishing Lesson Purpose / Intention:

Today, we will learn about the basic parts of our body and how they help us
understand the world through our senses. By investigating our five senses, we will
discover how they provide important information about our surroundings.
Understanding these concepts is essential as they help us appreciate how our body
works and interacts with the environment.

Lesson Language Practice/Unlocking of Difficulties:

Key Terms: body parts, senses, vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, function

Key Concepts:

Concept 1 - The five senses help us gather information about the world around us.

Concept 2 - Each body part has a specific function that contributes to our overall
health and safety.

II. During the Lesson Proper

Reading the Key Idea / Stem:

The human body is made up of various parts that have specific functions, and our
five senses help us interact with the world.

Developing Understanding of the Key Idea / Stem:

Activity 1: “Body Parts Scavenger Hunt”

[Teaching Strategy:] Cooperative Learning

Materials - Pictures of body parts hidden around the classroom

Significance - This activity promotes collaboration and physical engagement while

learning.

Instructions -

Deepening Understanding of the Key Idea/Stem:

Activity: “Senses and Safety”

[Teaching Strategy:] Problem-Based Learning

Materials - Scenarios written on cards involving sensory information (e.g., crossing

the street, cooking)

Significance - Helps students apply their understanding of senses in real-life

situations.

Instructions -

1) In groups, students read scenarios and discuss which senses are involved.

2) They will then present how using their senses can help them stay safe in those
situations.

3) Share presentations with the class to promote discussion.

Rubric

- Clarity of presentation - 10 pts.

- Relevance of senses identified - 5 pts.

- Group collaboration - 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:

2) Can you think of a time when your senses alerted you to danger?

3) Why is it important to use all five senses?

III. After the Lesson / Post-lesson Proper

Making Generalizations / Abstractions:

In summary, our body parts work together with our senses to help us understand and
interact with the world around us. Each sense plays a critical role in our daily lives,
providing us with information that keeps us safe and informed. By recognizing the
functions of our body parts and senses, we can better appreciate our health and
well-being.

Cole: This book explores body parts in a fun and engaging way.
Supporting Material 2 - "My Five Senses" by Aliki: A simple introduction to the
five senses, with illustrations that enhance understanding.

Assessment - Evaluating Learning:

[Teaching Strategy:] Think-Pair-Share

[Instructional Materials:] Worksheets for self-assessment and peer feedback.

Question 1 - What are the five senses, and what do they help us do?

Question 2 - Name one body part and describe its function.

Question 3 - Why are our senses important for our safety?

H.O.T.S.:

Question 1 - How would our lives be different if we could not see?

Answer 1 - We would struggle to navigate our environment, highlighting the

importance of vision for safety.

Question 2 - Why do you think different animals have different senses?

Answer 2 - Animals have senses adapted to their environments, showing how

evolution meets survival needs.

Question 3 - How can we improve our sensory awareness in daily life?

Answer 3 - By practicing mindfulness and paying attention to sensory details, we can

enhance our awareness of surroundings.
