How do you know that garbage has an unpleasant smell?

Your five senses let you know about the things around you.

There are five organs that help you know about the color, texture, smell, sound, and taste
of objects.

You use your eyes for seeing.

You use your ears for hearing.
You use your nose for smelling.
4
 You use your tongue for tasting.
You use your skin for touching and feeling.

YOUR EYES

Try This!
Cover your eyes with both hands.
What do you see?
Do you think you can see all the things around you without your eyes?

They are your sense organs for seeing.

Your eyes are important. They help you see the sky, plants, animals, and people.
Your eyes help you describe the color, shape, and size of objects. They help you see what is
happening around you.
Light helps you see.

Everything that we see around us is a gift from God and so our eyes....
they are gifts so precious you and I can’t live without. For this series of lesson,
we will learn so much more about our eyes and it is expected that at the end of
our sessions...we will learn to love our eyes more. Let’s move on.

Lesson 1 What the eyes can do and its parts?

Your pair of eyes are very important. It is the sense organ for seeing. The eyes
help you describe the color, size and shape of things around you. The eyes allow
you to recognize objects around you.
5
When taken care of, it works well with the other sense organs in doing your
daily activities.

Your eyes have two main parts, the outer eye

. and the inner
eye

Outer Eye

eyebrow
eyelid

eyelashes

Look at your eyes when you face the mirror. The eyebrow prevents sweat and
the eyelashes are thick short hairs that prevent dusts from entering your eye.
Eyelid is a thin skin fold that covers the eyes.
(Front view of the eye)

When you look at your eyes in the mirror, the first that you will notice is the white part
which is called sclera. It keeps the eyes shape . The colored part is called iris. Its color
could be black, brown, blue or even green. Iris controls the size of the pupil and prevent
light from entering your eyes. At the center of the iris, is the pupil and the lens behind it.
The pupil allows the light to enter the retina through lens. Retina is a lining at the back of
the eye that receives the light that lens has focused from entering, sending messages to

6
your brain through your optic nerves. These messages are sent to your brain that makes
you recognize things around you.

Quick Quiz

2. When you opened your eyes, what can you describe about the object?
3. What are your eyes for?

The tongue is your sense of taste. It tells the taste of things. It helps you in chewing
the food. It also helps you talk.
The tongue identifies a thing by its taste. When you taste a food, you determine its
flavor.

Choose five of your favorite foods from the picture. Can you list down the reasons
why these are your favorites.
