 LEARNING SCIENCE
Learning science is a process that students do, and not
something that just happens to them.

Science is not only minds-on, it is ‘hands-on’ as well.”

Traditional Classroom
 Silence in class
 Emphasize to cover lecture
 Acquire knowledge and understanding
 Telling and testing
 “Chalk and talk” monologue
 Scientific inquiry and curiosity is never allowed to grow.
 Student involvement is never emphasized.
 Teachers lack the desired knowledge, skills and scientific
attitude.

Sounds can make us feel …

 Hearing Problems

People sometimes must use hearing aids to help them hear .

People who are deaf hear music through vibrations.

 With our nose we smell…
flowers smoke

garbage

What animal stays safe

because of our sense of smell?
Some smells remind us of things.
Most of your sense of taste is really about your sense of smell.

As you get older, your sense of smell gets worse.

Bloodhounds smell at least 1000 times better than humans.

 With our mouth we can taste…
sweet bitter

sour

salty
Name the taste
Fish can taste with their fins and tail as well as
their mouth.

In general, girls have more tastebuds than boys.

With your skin you can feel…
 Your skin is your largest sense organ.

There are about 100 touch receptors in each of your

fingertips.

Your sense of touch warns your brain that your body is in

danger.
Protecting your sense of touch
Using our senses together.
