We have five senses

• Sight
• Hearing
• Touch
• Smell
• Taste

Hearing

• Your ears catch sound waves in the air and takes
  them along your ear to the eardrum.
• Next the sound vibrations move three little bones
  and then the cochlea.
• Then nerves take the sound waves to the brain.

4
Sight

• The pupil lets light into our eyes.
• The coloured part of our eye is called the iris.

5
Touch

• When you touch something nerve cells take
  messages to your brain.
• You have nerve cells for touch, heat, cold and
  pressure.

6
Smell

• Smells come into your nose when you breathe.
• Nerves carry the smells to your brain.

7
Taste

• Little taste buds on our tongue taste the food.
• These taste buds tell if food is sweet, sour
  salty or bitter.
