Five Sense Organs Tell You About the World

with Medi

Medi stands in a sunny garden, eyes wide open, sniffing a flower, one hand pressed gently on a fuzzy leaf, head tilted toward a chirping bird nearby.

Identify the five sense organs: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin.
Match each sense organ to the sense it gives you (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch).
Explain that sense organs send information about the world to your brain.
Sort everyday objects and experiences by which sense organ you use to learn about them.

Key terms

sense organ: A body part that gathers information about the world around you.
sense: A way of learning about the world, like sight or hearing.
umami: The savory taste of foods like broth or cheese.
brain: The body part that reads messages from your sense organs.

Five Organs, Five Senses

You have five sense organs, and each one gives you a different sense. Your eyes give you sight, your ears give you hearing, your nose gives you smell, your tongue gives you taste, and your skin gives you touch. Each organ is built to notice one main kind of information, like light, sound, smells, flavors, or pressure.

Senses Send Messages to the Brain

A sense organ does not understand the world by itself. When your eyes see light or your ears catch a sound, the organ sends a message through nerves to your brain. Your brain reads all these messages and figures out what is happening, like deciding that a sound is a dog barking. The organ collects, and the brain understands.

Senses Keep You Safe

Your senses do more than help you enjoy the world; they also protect you. Your nose can warn you of smoke or spoiled food, your skin can feel something too hot before it harms you, and your eyes and ears spot danger from far away. Working together, your five senses help you make safe choices every day.

Worked examples

Choose the sense organ for hearing a bell.

A ringing bell makes a sound that travels through the air.
The organ that picks up sounds is the ears.
So you use your ears to hear the bell.

Answer: You use your ears to hear a ringing bell.

Explain why tasting and smelling are different senses.

The tongue senses flavors like sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami.
The nose senses smells in the air, which is a different organ and sense.
So taste and smell are two separate senses, even though they often work together.

Answer: Taste comes from the tongue and smell comes from the nose, so they are different senses.

Hi! I am Medi, and I love learning about our amazing bodies. Your body has five special parts called sense organs — a sense organ is a body part that collects information about the world. Each one tells your brain something different about what is around you. Your EYES let you see colors, shapes, and things far away. Look around — your eyes are working right now! Your EARS let you hear sounds, like music, voices, and rain. Close your eyes for a moment. What sounds can you hear right now? Your ears are already at work! Your NOSE lets you smell things. A fresh orange smells sweet. Smoke smells sharp. Your nose warns you when something is not okay to eat. Your TONGUE lets you taste food. It can tell if something is sweet, salty, sour, or bitter. It can also sense a savory taste — like broth or cheese — called umami. Your SKIN covers your whole body and lets you feel touch. It tells you if something is soft or rough, warm or cold. All five sense organs — eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin — send messages to your brain so you know what is happening around you. You use them every single day!

Activity

Drag each picture to the sense organ you use most to learn about it. Think about the ONE sense you are using most with each picture.

Practice

List each of the five sense organs and the sense it gives you.

Why does a sense organ need your brain to make sense of what it finds?

Common mistakes to avoid

You taste food with your nose.Your tongue tastes food while your nose smells it; they are two separate sense organs.
The tongue is the main organ for feeling temperature.Your skin covers your whole body and is the main organ for feeling warm, cold, and touch.

Check your understanding

Which sense organ lets you hear a dog barking?

Maya touches a cold ice cube. Which sense organ is she using?

Some kids think you taste food with your nose. What is the truth?

Recap

Your five sense organs are eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin, and they give you sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Each one collects information and sends messages to your brain, which figures out what is happening around you.

Reflect

Which sense do you think you would miss the most, and how would you adapt without it?
