Which sense tells you that bath water is too hot?
Correct answer: B
Your skin feels hot and cold, which is part of your sense of touch. Hot and warm water usually look the same, so sight does not help.

Which two things can you find out just by looking at a toy?

Your eyes show you color and shape. Taste, smell, sound and softness need other senses.

Question 10
Which sense lets you notice smoke in the air, even in a dark room?
