Part of Lesson Plan: Integumentary System

Activity Overview / Details

Once students are seated, walk around the classroom and ask students to reach into several different brown bags that are numbered. Have each student reach in to touch and feel whats inside each bag. Ask students to record the number that is on the outside of each brown bag and write down what they think might be inside. Once all students have had a chance to feel the contents in each bag begin to expose what inside and have them compare their answers. Explain to students that it is the sensory receptors located all over the skin that allows them to feel. The 3 main receptors will help you to determine pressure, temperature and pain.
