The first sheet provides information about how we breathe. The following three sheets are diagrams which need to be labelled. The labels are written on the fifth sheet and can be cut out and stuck on or copied on to the worksheets. I have used these sheets with Year 5 and 6 classes.

This sheet contains ideas for four different experiments which children can carry out to test their sense of touch. It encourages children to think about how to record their findings and ensure that the tests are fair. I have used this as part of a unit of study on the five senses.
