We have five senses that help us learn about the world:
- Eyes let us see colors, shapes, and movement.
- Ears let us hear sounds like music, voices, and birds.
- Tongue helps us taste flavors like sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.
- Nose lets us smell nice or stinky scents.
- Skin lets us feel if something is hot, cold, soft, or rough.
The brain is the boss: it gets the messages from all the senses and puts them together so we understand what is happening around us.
