Have you ever wondered how in the world do we see colour know which way is up, or why we get goosebumps? How do we determine what is a good smell from stinky stuff? And . . . what if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Or have you ever wondered why dogs hear things we can't or why some cats seem to see ghosts? How do animals navigate over large distances flying north to south or swimming from one part of the ocean to another without getting lost?
Humans have five senses. But some animals can perceive things we can't thanks to their extraordinary senses. From science writer Rebecca E. Hirsch comes a fascinating book that introduces these animals and delves into the science behind their senses. Discover how animals use their senses to find food, navigate their environment, and communicate. Featured animals include the star-nosed mole with its highly developed nose, the deadly sidewinder rattlesnake which uses its pits to strike its prey, and the electric eel that uses electroreception to sense its prey.
Do you hear that? What does that taste like? This cat feels soft. Look over there! That stinks! Youngsters already know how to use their senses, and this series helps explain how the five senses work. With clear explanations and plenty of photos and diagrams, readers will better understand their experiences in the world.
How do our five senses help us learn about the world? How do our senses work? These books for young readers explain the answers to these questions using everyday examples with bright, clear photographs. A diagram in each book shows the inner workings of the sense organs and a picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary.
