To end our science unit on the 5 senses, we had some real scientists from High Touch High Tech come do some really cool investigations with us. They are awesome!
Hyper Space Heather
They observed their pupils grow and shrink when we turned the lights off and back on again.
They looked through some really cool lenses that make things appear upside down. They even got to keep these and take them home!
They observed their papilla (bumps on their tongue)...
and tasted something bitter, something sweet, something sour, and something salty.
They used their sense of smell to "waft" and guess what several "mystery solutions" were.
They made vibrations with a fork on a string to hear sound.
Then they did the same thing while holding the string to their ears to amplify the sound.
And they watched the colors change on these touch pads as the pads felt the warmth ftom their hands.

That looks really neat. Those are great ways to teach senses. It's one of those things that's hard to explain so I'm glad to see y'all helped!
