In science, the children are expected to make exploratory observations using their senses.  We have been using the sense of touch to discover one of the properties of familiar objects – texture.  Texture is way something feels.  We can use words to describe different textures such as,

• Flat, smooth.
• Rough, bumpy
• Spiky, pointy
• Soft, fluffy
• Hard

    

 

   

In visual arts, we can use texture, one of the elements of design, to create crayon rubbings.
