[bright music] - Hi friends.

My name is Cassondra and these are my helpers.

- Noel!

- And Emery.

- And we're here today to do a fun science experiment with you.

So today we're talking about our five senses.

Now let's talk about what those five senses are.

So Noel, can you tell us one of our five senses?

- Touch!

- You can use hands.

- Touch!

- Okay.

Your sense of touch using your hands.

- Emery, can you tell us another one?

- Your ears.

- What sense do you use your ears for?

- They hear!

- Yes.

We use our ears to hear.

All right.

Noel, can you tell us another one of our five senses?

- Sure!

Your eyes!

- Great!

We use our eyes for our sense of sight.

Emery, tell us another one.

- Your tongue.

- What's that tongue for?

- The taste.

- Tasting with your tongue.

Show everybody that tongue.

[kids vocalize] - Okay.

And Noel, tell us one more.

- Smell!

- Smell?

- Using your nose!

- Alright, we use our nose to smell!

So those are our five senses.

And today we are going to be using those fives to see if we can figure out what these mystery items are.

What do you usually do with your senses?

How your senses help you?

Hmm?

Tell me when your senses have helped you besides figuring out mystery items.

- Hmm.

The taste.

- Yeah.

So your senses help you to taste anytime you're eating food.

What else?

- One is when I go on the streets, to look for cars, my sight helps me.

- Oh, that's really good.

So your senses help to keep you safe?

- Yes.

- Okay.

- How else do our senses help us?

- To smell food!

- Oh, to smell food.

Or maybe sometimes to smell if something's burning.

- Oh yeah.

- Yeah.

That could also be a way that our senses, they help us to learn about what's going on around us and help to keep us safe.

- And to help you get a look about all the things around you.

- Excellent.

All right, great.

So today we're gonna use those senses and we're going to see if we can take those clues that our sentences give us and see if we can figure out what these mystery items are.

So Noel, Emery, are you up for this challenge?

- Yes.

- Okay.

So I'd like you to put that blindfold over your eyes so that you can't see our mystery items yet.

How is that?

Is that good?

- Yep.

- Yeah!

- Is that all right on you, Noel?

- Yep.

- Is that all right on you, Emory?

- Yes.

- Yep.

Okay, great.

Now, can you take your fingers and plug your nose so that you can't smell our mystery items either?

Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Yes.

- We're gonna get the first mystery item.

All right.

I'm gonna put this in your hand.

And I want you to touch it.

Use your sense of touch.

What you notice when you touch that item?

- It feels wet.

- It feels wet.

What else?

- Slippery.

- It feels slippery.

Okay.

Anything else?

- Kinda moist.

- Keep that nose plug!

- It feels like it has skin on it.

- Skin on it!

- Okay.

Do you know what that item is yet?

- I don't know.

- I don't know yet.

- Not sure yet?

Okay.

So I'm gonna put a check mark over here because we've had one clue so far for our first mystery item.

Now I'm gonna take this mystery item and we are going to use our sense of hearing.

Keep that nose plugged.

Now I'm gonna let you hear what this item sounds like, okay?

Now, don't tell me what it is yet if you know, just listen.

Okay, Noel and Emory, what did you notice with that mystery item?

- Oh, I know what it is!

It's my favorite veggie.

It's a pepper.

- What?

You knew it.

How did you know that was a pepper?

What did you hear?

- It crunching.

- Oh my goodness.

You heard it crunching.

Did you notice that, Noel?

- Yes!

- Did you also know what was a pepper?

- I actually thought it was a vegetable of some kind.

I Didn't know yet.

- Okay.

So, let's have you take off your blindfold for a second.

I'm gonna put a smiley face over here under hearing, because your sense of hearing made you know what the first history item was.

Now let's open up the bag and see if you were right about that mystery item.

- Yes!

- Yay!

Is that your favorite veggie, a pepper?

- Yeah!

- Okay.

So we were right.

The first mystery item is a pepper.

Alright, good.

Now let's go on to our next mystery item.

All right, put those blindfolds back on.

[playful music] All right, we ready?

- Yes.

- Okay.

Plug your nose.

Plug that nose.

Are we ready?

- Yes!

- Yes!

- Okay.

Let me get that second mystery item.

Alright, I'm going to put it in your hand so you can use your sense of touch.

Here we go.

You ready, Noel?

Okay, touch that second mystery item.

What does it feel like?

- It feels like, hard at the top.

- Feels hard at the top.

- I have literally no idea.

- [laughs] No idea.

Okay, I'm gonna put a check mark for item under two, under touch, because we got to touch that mystery item.

All right, now we're going use our sense of hearing, okay?

Listen.

What did you notice?

- I heard like, nothing.

- You heard nothing?

- Yeah.

- Did you hear anything Noel?

- Just that, like, rubbing against my ear.

- Okay.

So I'm gonna put checkmark under hearing for mystery item number two.

So those clues haven't helped us much.

- No.

- Okay.

Now for the sense of sight, you're gonna peek under your blindfold and look at what color our mystery item number two is.

What color is mystery item number two?

Look at this right here.

- It's white.

It looks white.

It's white.

Okay.

- So mystery item number two is white.

Does that make you know what item it is?

Not at all.

- No.

- No?

Okay.

We'll put another check mark.

Okay, now keep that nose plug!

Alright, you're gonna taste it.

Here's the taste.

You ready?

Don't smell it yet.

Just taste it.

What is this taste like?

- It tastes like a potato.

Oh, you smelled it.

Did you smell it?

- No.

Eating it, it's a potato.

- Yeah.

- Whoa, Emory's really good at this experiment.

- It tasted weird, but I think it's [indistinct].

- It's definitely a potato.

- A potato.

Okay.

- Yeah.

So take off your blindfold and let's look at the second mystery item and see if you were right.

I did not taste anything.

- Knew it!

- Potato!

- It tastes so weird.

- Okay, so we got a potato for our second mystery item.

Okay, blindfold back on.

Last mystery item.

Now remember, keep that nose plugged, okay?

When we get to teeth, keep it plugged because we don't wanna smell it yet, okay?

Alright, here we come with our last mystery item, and I'm gonna have you touch it.

Here we go.

Touch that last mystery item.

Touch it.

How does it feel?

- Feels like... - I don't even wanna know.

- It feels like, wet.

- Do you know what it is?

- Not even at all.

- No.

- Okay, we'll put a check there.

All right.

Let me have it.

Let's use our sense of hearing.

Listen.

Did you hear it?

- Kinda.

- What did it sound like?

- It like sounded like something popped.

- Like, a pop?

Do you know what it is?

- Like, a lemon?

- I think it's some kinda veggie.

- Like a lemon?

- Like a lemon.

You're very close.

All right, so we've gout our sense of hearing.

- Actually, no, I have one thing I think it might be.

- What?

- Is it a lime?

- Okay, take a peek at the color.

What color is this mystery item?

- Orange!

- Orange!

- Does that make you know what it is?

- Yes!

- What is it!

- It's an orange!

- It's an orange!

You figured it out.

Okay, let's take a look at the last, you can take your blindfold off.

And let's look at the third bag at our third mystery item and see if Noel was right.

- I knew it.

- Orange.

- Was he right, friends at home?

- Yes!

Our third mystery item was an orange.

Thank you so much, friends at home, for joining us.

Thank you Noel and Emory, for using your five sentences to figure out our mystery items.

We hope you can try something like this at home, friends, using your five senses to figure out some mystery items.

Thank you for joining us, friends.

- [All] Bye!
