Explanation:
Let's go through each item and think about which senses we use to experience it. We have five senses: sight (eyes), smell (nose), taste (tongue), hearing (ears), and touch (skin).
1. Rain:
- We can see rain falling. (sight)
- We can hear the sound of rain. (hearing)
- We can feel rain on our skin. (touch)
- We don’t smell or taste rain directly.
So, we use sight, hearing, and touch.
2. Ice cream:
- We can see ice cream. (sight)
- We can smell ice cream. (smell)
- We can taste ice cream. (taste)
- We don’t hear or feel it in the same way.
So, we use sight, smell, and taste.
3. Music:
- We can’t see music, but we can see the notes or the person playing. (sight)
- We can’t smell music.
- We can’t taste music.
- We hear music. (hearing)
- We might feel the vibrations. (touch)
So, we use hearing and touch. (And sight if we see the music or the player.)
4. Dog:
- We can see a dog. (sight)
- We can smell a dog. (smell)
- We can hear a dog. (hearing)
- We can touch a dog. (touch)
- We don’t taste a dog.
So, we use sight, smell, hearing, and touch.
5. Train:
- We can see a train. (sight)
- We can hear a train. (hearing)
- We can feel the vibrations of a train. (touch)
- We might smell the train (like smoke or metal). (smell)
- We don’t taste a train.
So, we use sight, hearing, touch, and smell.
Final Answer:
For each item, cross out the senses you do NOT use:
- Rain: Cross out smell and taste
- Ice cream: Cross out hearing and touch
- Music: Cross out smell and taste
- Dog: Cross out taste
- Train: Cross out taste
