About this resource
Description
A walk outside is one of the best science lessons there is, because every one of the five senses has something to notice. This five senses nature walk worksheet helps 3rd graders think about how they use their senses outdoors and, just as important, how to use them safely. Some things on a trail are fine to pick up and study, while others are best observed with the eyes only, and some senses should never be used to test a wild plant at all.
The five senses nature walk worksheet opens with a word box of eight things a child might find on a nature walk, from an acorn and a pinecone to a bee, a snake, poison ivy, and a wild mushroom. Students sort each find into one of two columns, Safe to Touch or Look, Don’t Touch, and every word belongs in exactly one column. Four short safety questions follow, and students answer each one by writing hearing, sight, smell, or taste on the line. A complete answer key is included on the second page, so checking the work takes only a minute.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- An eight-word sort chart and 4 which-sense safety questions
This 3rd grade health and nutrition worksheet helps children in three ways. First, it connects the senses to real choices, so students learn that the senses are tools for staying safe and not only for describing things. Second, the sort builds a simple outdoor rule children can carry onto any trail: if it can sting, bite, poison, or cause a rash, look but do not touch. Third, the questions ask students to reason about which sense notices a warning first, which strengthens careful reading and clear scientific thinking.
Before a class nature walk, go over the sort chart together and add one more find to each column. On the walk, pause for a quiet listening minute and a careful looking minute, and have students record one thing for each sense they can safely use. Afterward, children can draw their favorite safe find and label it, and singing along with the Senses Song is a fun way to open or close the lesson.
