Seniors- Development of Infant Senses


The developing brain enables newborn infants to make fairly good sense of what they touch, see, smell, taste, and hear; and their senses develop rapidly in the early months of life.

As a group, you will research one of the senses. Be sure to find out when it starts to develop. Include 25 facts about the infant's development of your particular sense. Also include a link to a newspaper or magazine article about your topic. Your article should be at least 2 pages of print. Your group will receive a classwork grade for your post.

When the all the posts are up on the blog, you must print out the information about all 5 senses, including the articles. This information will be on the chapter 6 test.
