Environment Targeted Audience Objectives Computer lab 5th grade
Students will go through simulations individually Objectives Students will gain knowledge of the 5 senses of the human body. Students will be able to identify which sense has what function to our bodies. Given information about our 5 senses, students shall be able to perform with 95% accuracy when filling out diagrams.
3
Why is having knowledge of our five senses important?
We see We touch We smell We listen We Taste!
4
The 5 Senses of our bodies allow us to do what we do on a daily basis
The 5 Senses of our bodies allow us to do what we do on a daily basis! Choose which sense you would like to learn about first. Pay attention! There will be a quiz at the end of each sense section.

Home Eye Sight
7
Home Click on each word within the diagram to practice learning the parts and functions of the eye. Click on quiz at the bottom when ready! retina lens optic nerve cornea iris Skip to quiz
8
The optic nerve Home The optic nerve connects the eye to the brain.
The optic nerves carries impulses and can sense light.
9
Home The lens The lens can change shape to focus on things in the distance or close up. The lens allows a sharp image to become produced by the retina.
10
The cornea Home The eyes outermost layer
It is the clear surface that covers the front of the eye. The cornea helps shield the eye from harmful matter. It controls and focuses the entry of light.
11
The Retina Home The retina is the innermost part of the eyeball.
It receives the image produced by the lens. It contains rods and cons that are sensitive to light.
12
Home The Iris The colored disk of the eye.
13
Home Quiz Directions* Part A: Use the eye diagram that you have to fill out the parts of the eye using the word bank from the module. Part B: Answer a series of true/false questions by clicking either “true” or “false”.

Home Hearing

Home “What did you say?” When an object makes a sound, it sends vibrations through the ear. The vibrations are canaled into your ear canal by your outer ear. As the vibrations move to the middle of the ear, they hit the eardrum. Then, the eardrum vibrates the hammer, anvil, and stirrup. The stirrup passes the vibrations into the cochlea.
57
Home *Look over the diagram of the ear. After reading about the function of these parts, locate where each of them are.
