My Body — Important Questions

Skin

Step 1: We have five sense organs - eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. Step 2: Each sense organ is different in size. Step 3: Skin covers our entire body from head to toe. Step 4: Because skin covers the whole body, it is by far the largest sense organ. Step 5: Eyes, ears, nose, and tongue are all small in size compared to the skin that covers your whole body.

Skin

Step 1: When Arjun touches the ice cube, his skin comes in contact with it. Step 2: Skin is the sense organ of touch and feeling. Step 3: Skin helps us feel hot, cold, soft, hard, wet, and dry things. Step 4: The cold feeling of ice is sensed by the skin through touch. Step 5: Eyes see things, tongue tastes things, and nose smells things - none of them can feel temperature.

Tongue

Step 1: Tasting food is the job of the tongue. Step 2: The tongue is a sense organ inside our mouth. Step 3: When Priya eats a mango, her tongue tells her brain that it tastes sweet. Step 4: The tongue can also sense salty, sour, bitter, and spicy tastes. Step 5: Nose helps smell, not taste. Eyes and ears have nothing to do with tasting food.

Hands

Step 1: Writing means holding a pencil and moving it on paper. Step 2: To hold a pencil, we use our fingers, which are part of our hands. Step 3: Hands help us to write, hold, catch, throw, type, and touch things. Step 4: Legs help us walk and run - they cannot hold a pencil. Step 5: Eyes help us see what we write, but the actual writing action is done by the hands.
