Human Body – 5 Senses Enquire Now Hands-on Science Incursion on the 5 Senses Students will gain an appreciation of the complexity of the human body and life in this fun school science workshop when your classroom becomes a biology lab! In this five-senses workshop, we help students understand; that the human brain detects information about the surroundings using sense organs, and how it controls and coordinates body functions. the function and parts of the eye and the ear. how taste and smell provide information about the environment how our sense of touch informs us about our world Looking for a workshop on Healthy Choices?

Available as a primary school science incursion within Australia or as a video conference to any school around the globe! Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the same curriculum points will be covered, but the activities may vary from those listed for face-to-face incursions.
