Extension Activities: -
--The teacher will provide different objects in bags which can be "experienced" without the use of sight. Students will be split into 4 groups, and each group will be assigned one of the three senses of hearing, smelling, and feeling (tasting could be added depending on the objects used in the bags.) The bags with the various objects will rotate between the groups. Each group must try to figure out what the objects in the bags are using only their assigned sense. At the end of the activity, the class can combine all the observations they made to come up with a conclusive decision. Discussion can focus on the advantage that comes from using multiple senses.
