After listening to a book on the sense of taste, the students will participatein a food sampling activity and will create a chart that depicts the students’favorite foods from the lesson’s food samples. The students must use sensorytaste describing words. Also, the class must use the words less, more, andequal when analyzing the outcome of the taste chart.
After listening to a book on thesense of touch, the students will participate in a touch bag activity as agroup and must identify the objects in the bag using the sense of touch bycompleting a worksheet with 6/8 accuracy. (Discussion and questions within thesmall groups is encouraged) After listening to a book on thesense of hearing, the students will participate in a listening lotto game inwhich the students must listen for the sounds (which include sounds from ourenvironment and the world) that match the pictures on the lotto/bingo card andmark them correctly on the card with 7/9 accuracy. After listening to a book on thesense of sight, the students will participate in a nature walk. During thenature walk the students must make visual observations and then record theirobservations through a drawing when they return to the classroom. The drawingsmust contain objects that were viewed during the nature walk. After listening to a book on thesense of smell, the students will participate in collage activity in which thestudents must categorize objects that smell good and bad after cutting them outof a worksheet, coloring them, and placing them in the correct column on agraphic organizer. The collages must be completed with 14/16 accuracy. Lesson Plans

(Data Analysis and Probability) I.C.1 Display information by using objectgraphs, pictorial graphs, and tables.
Goals:
• The students will understand the sense of taste and experience it by actuallytasting real samples.
• The class will make a chart tallying how many people liked the differentsamples.
• The students will use taste describing words, such as salty, sour, sweet,bitter, and etcetera.
Objective(s):
After listening to a book on the sense of taste, the students will participatein a food sampling activity and will create a chart that depicts the students’favorite foods from the lesson’s food samples. The students must use sensorytaste describing words. Also, the class must use the words less, more, andequal when analyzing the outcome of the taste chart.
Equipment/ Materials:
Food samples (check for food allergies) Plates/ utensils/napkins drinks Thebook: Taste by Rius, Parramon, and Puig Procedures:
• The teacher will open the lesson with some questions and then begin the bookTaste by Maria Rius, J.M. Parromon, and J.J. Puig.
• Tasting tally activity directions:
• Distribute the first tasting item, placing a small sample on each child'splate. Have children taste each item at the same time.
• After tasting each item, have children describe it.
• After students taste each item, ask them to raise their hands if they likedthat item. Write the name of the item on the board and draw its picture. Thenuse tally marks to show how many children liked it.
