Key Topics to Revise

1

The Amazing World of Animal Senses

  • Animals can see, hear, taste, smell, and feel – just like humans.
  • Some animals have one or more senses that are much stronger than those of human beings.
  • A crow can spot food from very far away because of its sharp eyesight.
2

The Sense of Smell in Animals

  • Ants leave a smell (chemical trail) on the ground as they move. Other ants follow this smell to find food and their way back to the hole.
  • When you block an ant's path, it gets confused because the smell trail is broken.
  • Ants from the same group recognise each other by their smell.
3

The Sense of Sight in Animals

  • Most birds have eyes on either side of their head. This helps them see in two different directions at the same time.
  • Birds like owls and humans have eyes in front of the head. This helps them judge distance better.
  • Birds cannot move their eyes like humans can. So they turn their heads to see around them.
4

The Sense of Hearing in Animals

  • Birds do not have visible ears. They have small holes covered by feathers instead of outer ears.
  • Animals with bigger ears generally have a better sense of hearing.
  • Putting your hands behind your ears (like a cup) makes sound seem louder – this is because it collects more sound waves.
