Cluster 2 - The Senses
Essential Questions that I would ask regarding this cluster would be:
1) How do our five senses help us in examining the world around us?
2) Why should we protect our eyes/skin?
3) Why/How does everyone else smell/taste/touch/hear/see differently than me?
4) Why is knowing our five senses and how they work help us with science?
5) Why is using our senses important when doing certain jobs?
I would teach these questions in that order because it follows the direct chain of instruction. The students first need to learn what body part goes with which sense and how those five senses help us to examine the world around us. Then we get farther into the critical thinking of the five senses and how they would relate to science as a whole. In order to teach Grade 1 students you need to first introduce them to the topic with basic essential questions and then broaden their knowledge to include the world around them and the world of science.
