About this worksheet

Welcome to our engaging Class 1 Science practice worksheet focused on "Our Five Senses"! Designed specifically for young learners following the CBSE curriculum, this easy-to-use worksheet is perfect for helping children understand and identify the amazing ways their bodies interact with the world. At this crucial age, grasping the concept of the five senses – sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch – is fundamental for developing observational skills and building a strong foundation in science. This worksheet is ideal for parents looking to reinforce learning at home or for teachers seeking a simple, effective tool for classroom activities. It gently introduces the idea that our senses are like special tools that help us learn about everything around us, aligning perfectly with NCERT guidelines for early science education.

What your child will learn

• Identify the five main senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
• Recognise the body parts associated with each of the five senses.
• Understand how each sense helps us experience the world.
• Practice matching senses to their corresponding functions.
• Apply knowledge of senses to everyday objects and activities.

Understanding the concept

Our five senses are like superpowers that help us explore and understand everything around us. Imagine you are walking in a park. How do you know there are colorful flowers, chirping birds, or yummy snacks? It's all thanks to your senses! We use our 'sight' with our eyes to see colors, shapes, and sizes, like identifying a red ball or a tall tree. Our 'hearing' sense, controlled by our ears, lets us listen to sounds such as music, someone talking, or the rustle of leaves. When you smell a delicious meal or a fragrant flower, that's your 'smell' sense working through your nose. Your tongue helps you 'taste' different flavours like sweet, sour, salty, or bitter. Lastly, 'touch' is what you feel with your skin, letting you know if something is hot, cold, soft, or rough, like cuddling a soft toy or feeling the warmth of the sun. Each sense has a special job and a specific body part that helps us gather information about our surroundings, making our world rich and full of experiences.

Tips for parents & teachers

• Encourage your child to use their senses to describe objects around the house before starting the worksheet.
• Read the instructions clearly and help your child understand each activity with simple examples.
• After completing the worksheet, engage in a 'sense walk' in your home or garden, asking your child to point out things they see, hear, smell, touch, and (safely) taste.
• Connect the concepts to daily activities, such as identifying the smell of dinner or the sound of a doorbell.
• Reinforce learning by watching educational videos about the five senses together.
