When we learn about objects around us, we can use
any number of our senses.

• Sometimes we use just one sense, like when we
  hear an owl at night.
• If we pick some dandelions, we use three senses
  because we see them, feel them and smell them.
• If we ate some popcorn right from our microwave,
  we probably heard it popping, touched it, saw it,
  smelled it and tasted it. We used all five of
  our senses!
