Students explore the sense of taste. In this biology lesson plan, students consider 4 types of tastes, recognize the papillae or receptors on the tongue, and locate and label the different taste sense organs on the tongue.

Who would not want an opportunity to taste jellybeans in class?  During this investigation, life science learners hold their noses as they take a taste test and find that our perception of flavor is connected with our sense of...

Students identify the five senses. In this biology lesson, students participate in an experiment and use their five senses to identify various substances.

Students explore the sense of taste. In this biology lesson plan, students investigate the sense of tastes as they experience salty, sour, bitter, and sweet tastes. Students then discover how taste buds do their job.

Young scholars investigate taste buds. For this biology lesson, students taste several sweet, sour, and salty foods to identify how their taste buds play a role in how things taste.

Students explore their senses. In this biology lesson plan, students will learn about their senses, what affects them, and how the brain works to control our senses in a series of lab activities.

In this biology worksheet, students label the portions of the tongue that are responsible for sweet, sour, bitter, and salty tastes. They complete a chart telling which tastes they like and dislike.

Students explore how the five human senses function. They work in small groups, each group focusing on a specific sense. Each group then creates a 'Sensing the World' poster which combines all of the information gained through in-class...

In this senses activity, students use webbed information to answer several questions. Students read about each one of the five human senses in order to demonstrate an understanding of the material.

Students observe and record observations of whether a person is a taster or nontaster. They test selected individuals from their families and peer groups and chart all findings to determine which trait (e.g. taster or non-taster) is...

Students conduct an experiment to evaluate the accuracy of their senses.

Add a handy reference sheet about fish anatomy and functioning to your learners' biology or animal notebooks. Though this resource doesn't provide any practice, it makes a useful addition to any study of anatomy, biology, species, fish,...

Learners use their senses to compare a frog and a hamster. In this animals comparison lesson plan, students get into groups and observe, smell, feel, and listen to what their animals are like, and classify them into categories.

Students observe crickets in the terrarium. Have them record in their journal any evidence of crickets having senses. Then they answer questions like these: How do they use their sense organs? Where are they are located?

Students identify structures of the brain, and neurons and analyze their functions.  In this nervous system lesson plan students create drawings and models of anatomy.

Students record observations and create drawings and models of anatomy using their five senses. They describe the structures of a neuron and analyze each of their functions. They compare and contrast the typical structural features of a...

Learners investigate the brain through multiple senses. In this biology lesson, students experiment with different activities involving taste, memory, touch, and sight to understand how the brain works. Learners work in partners and...

First graders build a terrarium in order to observe animal and plant life dynamics. In this biology lesson, 1st graders compare how organisms survive in different environments. They write their observations and analysis in their journal.

In this arthropods worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle with 41 questions about the different types and behaviors of arthropods.

Students examine the effect of chemicals from marine plants or animals on predator's preferences. For this ecology lesson, students conduct taste tests and collect necessary data. They write their conclusion after analyzing...

In this nervous system worksheet, students read information about how the body receives and sends out information through the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.

Students brainstorm a list of colorful animals and research why they are colorful. In this biology lesson, students sketch what a nudibranchs look like before watching a video. They compare their sketch to the actual...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Imagine you open a gallon of milk, and you suddenly smell a foul odor. Your sense of smell has informed you that the milk has spoiled. So you pour the spoiled milk...

Kids learn about the science of smelling and tasting. Two senses of the human body.
