People have 5 senses. We can hear .... We can smell things. We can feel things we touch.

We can see. We can taste things.

We see with our ey es. The eyes work lik e a camera. They take in light from the thing we are looking at and make a tiny picture of it on th e back of the eyeball. Nerve s inside the eyes take a m essage to the brain about th e picture.The brai n tells us what it is we are lo oking at.

We taste with our tongue. The tongue is covered with about 10,000 taste buds. Taste buds on different parts of the tongue taste different things; sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Chemicals in the food we eat make the taste buds work and nerves in the tongue send messages to the brain which tells us what we are tasting.

We touch and feel with our skin. Nerve endings in the skin send messages to the brain that tell us about what we are touching, if it is warm, hot, cold, painful, soft, prickly, rough, sticky.

We hear with our ears. Sounds go into my ears. Inside my ear, sounds make a trip until the nerves Nerves tell my brain about the sound. My brain tells me what I am hearing.
