Video Nose and sense of smell- A 5 senses Sing-Along!
o Questions:
What scents can you smell?
What objects can smell?
What objects can you not smell?
Is it a good scent of a bad scent?
What do you believe is in cup number one?
What do you believe is in cup number two?
What do you believe is in cup number three?
o Instructional Management:
Students will be broken into three groups. Each group will have a teacher supervising
the students as they smell the cups.
Each table will have the eight different cups placed, so there will be no need for
switching the cups.
Teachers will facilitate the sharing of the cups.
o Transitions:
Students will count off by threes to be broken into three groups.
Students will then go to their assigned table, as they follow the number they were given.
9. Closure:
After the class has had a chance to smell each cup, we will then come together at the
rug. The students will bring their completed worksheet with them. The teacher will take
two to three guesses about what the students think the object in the cup is. The teacher
will then ask them Who thinks it is a good smell? The teacher will then use a bar
graph on the Touch-Board to label the amount of students who believe the smell was
good. Lastly, the teacher will reveal what the mystery object in the cup is to the
students. This process will be repeated for cups one to eight.
The video of the song Nose and sense of smell- A 5 senses Sing-Along! will be played.
