The Five Senses for Kids | Sight, Taste, Smell, Hearing, and Touch

Kids enjoy learning about the five senses: sight, taste, smell, hearing, and touch. Join Kevin in the Sensory Learning Center. Have you ever wondered how the five senses work? Here are easy-to-understand explanations of the five senses. The material was developed with educators for fourth grade standardized tests, but it’s also useful for lower and upper grades. Even some advanced preschoolers enjoy watching and learning from it. High-school and college students say it helps them review the five senses. Parents educating their children at home during school closures will get a break from teaching with educational videos from Rock ’N Learn. Kids can watch and learn by themselves.

In this segment from Rock 'N Learn Human Body, learn how these parts of the eye work together: cornea, pupil, iris, lens, muscles around the eye, vitreous humor. retina, rods, cones, visual cortex of the brain, eyebrows, eyelashes, eyelids, and tears. Discover the four main taste sensations: sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. Some experts add a fifth called umami or savory. Learn how sense of taste depends heavily upon sense of smell and the olfactory epithelium traveling up the olfactory nerve to the olfactory cortex of the brain. Hearing is explained with sound waves, ear canal, middle ear, eardrum (or tympanum.), hammer, anvil, stirrup, cochlea, and cilia. Learn how loud music can destroy cilia which never grow back. Learn how the ears help you keep balance with the semicircular canals. Finally learn about the sense of touch and the common types of receptors found in the skin. What areas of your body are more sensitive?
