Cambridge Public School Medley

By David Haines: http://www.familyopera.org/drupal/David_Haines

working with children in the Cambridge Public Schools

1. Animal Camouflage by Room 108, Kindergarten, Amigos School

Camouflaged creatures blend in so well with their surroundings

that they must use senses other than sight to find each other.

2. Howler Monkey Senses by Room 106, Kindergarten, Haggerty School

Howler monkeys have calls that can be heard

five km away and can smell food two km away.

3. My Senses in the Rain by Room 101, Kindergarten, Graham and Parks School

There are unique sights, sounds, sensations, smells

and even tastes that we associate with a rainy day.

4. Search for Delicious by Room 117, 3rd Grade, King Open School

What we think of as "flavor" is actually a combination of smell

and sweet, sour, salt, bitter and umami taste receptors.

5. Signals with Senses by Room 108, 1st Grade, Sheltered English Immersion,

Graham and Parks School

People, like animals, use all of their senses to communicate.
