LS.2.K.5. Structure and Function: Name and describe the five senses

Students will use their 5 senses to feel of the insides of a pumpkin. This will include; Sight- The students will look at the pumpkin to see if it is big, small, round or lopsided. Hear- The students will put their ear up to the side of the pumpkin while someone digs on the inside. This will give the students a new idea of what a pumpkin sounds like! Touch/Feel- The students will feel of the texture of the outside of the pumpkin. This will help them to understand that not all pumpkins feel the exact same way. The students will also feel of the insides of the pumpkin. Is it slimy? Smell- The students will smell of the insides of the pumpkin, and they will smell of the pumpkin seed before they taste it. Taste- The students will taste of two pre-packaged pumpkin seeds.

Other Information:

The teacher will use the Elmo to project the Pumpkin onto the smart board. This way the students will be able to easily follow along, and I will be able to show them where where the different colored seeds go, as I explain it to them.
