Senses of animals — EVS worksheet

Many animals have senses much sharper than ours. Dogs and ants follow smells, eagles spot prey from high in the sky, and bats and dolphins find their way by listening to echoes. Some animals are active at night (owls, bats, fireflies), others in the day. Animals also belong to groups: mammals (even bats and whales), birds, insects (6 legs), reptiles, and spiders (8 legs, not insects).

Remember

Super senses — “find the sense the animal uses best”

  1. Smell: sniffer dogs, ants on a trail, sharks. Sight: eagles, hawks. Hearing: bats and dolphins (echoes), owls.
  2. Active at night: owl, bat, slender loris, firefly. Active in the day: crow, sparrow, butterfly, honeybee.
  3. Mammals feed their babies milk (bat, whale, cow); insects have 6 legs; spiders and scorpions have 8 legs.

Use it for: Class 5 EVS lessons on animals and their senses, nature walks at dusk and animal projects.

Worked example: 🐾 Which sense is a bat using echoes mostly using? → hearing

  1. A bat makes squeaks and listens for the echoes that bounce back.
  2. Listening is the sense of hearing.

Check: Echoes are sounds — so it is hearing ✓
