What my five senses means

You use your eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin to learn about things around you. This helps you notice sights, sounds, smells, tastes and how things feel.

What you will practise

  • Match each body part to the correct sense
  • Choose the right sense for common everyday things
  • Tell what you use to see, hear, smell, taste and touch
  • Read simple questions about the five senses

Before you start

You should know the names of common body parts. It also helps if you can describe simple things you see, hear, smell, taste and feel.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Which body part do we use to see?

  • Ears
  • Eyes
  • Nose
  • Tongue
Answer: Eyes

Working: We see with our eyes.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Choosing the nose for tasting food. Remember, you taste with your tongue.
  • Using 'eyes' for every question about seeing and hearing. Match each sense carefully.
  • Mixing up smell and taste. Smell uses the nose, while taste uses the tongue.
  • Forgetting that skin helps you feel. Use skin when something is hot, cold, rough or smooth.
