The 5 senses facts

1. There are five senses – sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing.

2. Our senses help us to understand what’s happening around us.

3. Our senses send messages through receptor cells to our brain, using our nervous system to deliver that message.

4. There are four kinds of taste receptors on the tongue – bitter, sweet, salt and sour.

5. Some parts of the skin are more sensitive than others – this is because they have more receptor cells.

The 5 senses facts

1. We taste food using both our sense of taste and smell.

2. It’s fun to experiment with your senses – for example, make a chart of what foods taste bitter, sweet, salty and sour.

3. If you cup your hand around your ear, you’ll hear more things – this is because you’re helping your ear gather more sounds.

4. Not everyone is able to use all five of their senses. If someone cannot see, they are blind; if someone cannot hear, they are deaf.

5. We can use all five of our senses at the same time without even realising it!
