What is sensing?

Sensing is when your body tells you something about the world around you, just like when you touch something hot and know it’s warm.

Imagine you're playing with blocks. You reach out and feel one that's smooth, while another feels bumpy. That’s sensing, your fingers are telling you what those blocks are like without you needing to look at them. Your skin is working like a special kind of detective, giving clues about the world.

Your body has special tools, like tiny helpers on your skin and in your ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. These helpers catch bits of information from things around you, like sounds, smells, or how something feels.

For example, when you bite into a juicy apple, your tongue sends a message to your brain saying, "This is sweet!" That’s sensing too! It's like having friends who whisper secrets about everything you touch, taste, hear, and see.
