  • Did you know a cat uses its whiskers as part of its sense of touch?
  • Where is your sense of touch?

The sense of touch allows you to feel objects in your environment. Your sense of touch tells you if something is hot, cold, sharp, fuzzy, or even gooey.

You may think that you can only feel with your fingers, but actually, all of your skin is the organ associated with touch. Some parts of your skin are more sensitive to touch than others.

In this lesson, you will learn about the sense of touch and how the skin works. You will explore using a video, hands-on activities, and a fun project. /p>

To learn how the skin works and how nerve endings send messages to the brain, watch The Sense of Touch - Senses for Kids from Smile and Learn - English:
