Second Class Explore Their Senses in Science

Second class have been learning about how our senses work and how they can protect us from potential dangers around us. They had fun with a mystery bag activity where their sense of touch was put to the test; describing the texture of the items and predicting what they might be. Blindfolded, they carried out a smell investigation; and had to guess the items through their noses alone! We recorded predictions and results. We carried out a jumping rice experiment, to explore how sound travels in waves. We also played guess the sound; guessing from a range of sounds including natural sounds, animal sounds and mechanical sounds. Second class are fascinated by the power of their senses!
