Matt has asked to do the five senses again this year, so we started on sight. I got this book called Super Senses that goes through all the senses and has 2-3 small experiments that goes along with each topic. I also have Dinak Zikes science pocket book on the human body and a couple of  other human body books geared for both his level and a little higher so that he can think.

So far we read a little about the structure of the eye, some of the parts names and what they do. He had a blast playing with a flashlight to make my pupil smaller. I was seeing spots for awhile, but thats ok. He also made a model of the eye, which I will take a picture of and post here. He did a good job coloring each part. Once we have done all the little lessons I planned for sight, we will sum them up by doing the sight lapbook activities in the Five Senses Lapbook from Hands of a Child. I plan on doing this with all the senses.
