Introduction
This webquest was created to assist students to learn about the five senses and each of their uses. The students undertake the activities listed and the results are evaluated. You will view a video of the five sense organs and how they work to help us make sense of the world around us. The activities that are provided will include every student inside the classroom

1. Utilizing the five senses in a scientific way can help the students to become more educated about their sensory organs. Students can experience these hands on fun activities.
2. Sight students can draw pictures using various colors that will encourage conversation and discussion about the drawing.

The marks will be awarded using the rubric provided. The marks earned on the rubric will be multiplied by eight then 4 marks will be added to make it out of 100%.
Conclusion
At the end the student will have a basic understanding of the five senses and will be aware of the uses of each sense in the day to day activities.
This lesson helps to bring about co-operation, understanding and participation and it also allow the students to think and explore using technology. The senses are; touch, taste, sight, hearing and smell, these help us gather information about the world. And as we all known, our senses are continuously activating in every work that we do, this will help the students to analyze more about the topic and apply it into daily activities. Thank you!
