Books To Learn About The Senses
Â
Learning about the senses is an important first step for young scientists. Our senses are not only the way we interpret the world, but they are also key in conducting scientific observations and developing conclusions. From a young age, children love learning about their senses and using them to explore the world around them. Build on this innate curiosity at all ages, and learn how to apply it to your STEAM work. Here is a list of our favourite books about the human senses.
