3. to find out if the sampaguita flower has a pleasant smell
Correct Answer
A. Nose
Explanation
The nose is the correct answer because it is the sense organ primarily responsible for detecting smells. To find out if the sampaguita flower has a pleasant smell, one would need to use their nose to sniff the flower and determine if it has a pleasant scent. The tongue is responsible for detecting tastes, not smells, so it is not relevant in this context. The eyes are used for vision and cannot detect smells.

4. to know if the lechon tastes delicious
Correct Answer
C. Tongue
Explanation
The question is asking which sense organ is used to determine if the lechon tastes delicious. The sense of taste is primarily located in the tongue, as it contains taste buds that can detect different flavors. The skin, nose, and ears are not directly involved in the sense of taste. Therefore, the tongue is the correct answer in this context.

5. to find out if the surface of Sepak takraw ball is rough or smooth
Correct Answer
B. Skin
Explanation
The sense of touch, which is primarily located in the skin, would be the most appropriate sense to determine if the surface of the Sepak takraw ball is rough or smooth. By using our hands or fingers, we can feel the texture of the ball and determine if it has a rough or smooth surface. The eyes, tongue, and ears are not as effective in determining the texture of an object, making skin the correct answer.

6. to identify the different colors of the rainbow
Correct Answer
A. Eyes
Explanation
The eyes are responsible for identifying the different colors of the rainbow. They contain specialized cells called cones that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. When light enters the eyes, these cones send signals to the brain, which then interprets the information and allows us to see the various colors present in the rainbow.
7.
7. to compare the different sounds of the instruments in a band
Correct Answer
B. Ears
Explanation
The purpose of comparing the different sounds of instruments in a band is to perceive and analyze the variations in tones, pitches, and timbres produced by each instrument. This can be achieved through the auditory sense, which is the function of the ears. By using our ears, we are able to distinguish and appreciate the unique characteristics of each instrument, allowing us to understand their roles and contributions within the band.

8. to find out the smell of a noodle soup
Correct Answer
D. Nose
Explanation
The sense of smell, which is located in the nose, is responsible for detecting and identifying different odors, including the smell of a noodle soup. When we inhale the aroma of the soup, the molecules from the soup stimulate the olfactory receptors in our nose, sending signals to the brain, which then interprets the smell. Therefore, the nose is the correct sense organ to use in order to find out the smell of a noodle soup.
9.
9. to enjoy the taste of mango
Correct Answer
D. Tongue
Explanation
The taste buds on the tongue are responsible for detecting and interpreting different flavors, including the taste of mango. The tongue has specialized receptors that can detect the sweetness, sourness, and other taste qualities of mango. This allows us to enjoy the unique and delicious taste of mango when we eat it. The skin, eyes, and ears do not play a direct role in experiencing the taste of mango.
10.
10. to try if the wood is soft or hard
Correct Answer
A. Skin
Explanation
The skin is the most appropriate sense organ to use in order to determine if wood is soft or hard. By touching the wood with our skin, we can feel the texture and firmness of the surface, allowing us to assess its softness or hardness. Our skin is sensitive to touch and can detect subtle differences in the material we come into contact with, making it a reliable sense organ for this task.
11.
11. Which of these is a characteristic being observed using our eyes?
Correct Answer
D. Colors
Explanation
Colors are a characteristic that can be observed using our eyes. Our eyes have specialized cells called cones that detect different wavelengths of light, allowing us to perceive different colors. This ability is known as color vision and is a unique characteristic of our visual system. Texture, taste, and temperature are not directly observed using our eyes but instead rely on other sensory systems such as touch, taste buds, and thermoreceptors.
12.
12. Which of these characteristics is observed using our skin?
Correct Answer
C. Hardness
Explanation
Our skin is able to perceive hardness through touch. When we come into contact with objects, our skin can detect the level of resistance or firmness, allowing us to determine whether something is hard or soft. This is due to the presence of sensory receptors in our skin called mechanoreceptors, which respond to pressure and vibrations. These mechanoreceptors send signals to our brain, allowing us to perceive and differentiate the hardness of objects.
13.
13. Which of the following is correctly paired?
Correct Answer
D. Ears-loud sound of a bus
Explanation
The correct answer is "ears-loud sound of a bus." This is because ears are the sensory organs responsible for hearing, and they are capable of perceiving loud sounds such as the sound produced by a bus. The other options do not correctly pair the sensory organ with the corresponding sensory experience.
14.
14. Which of the following sense organs is correctly paired with its use?
Correct Answer
B. Nose if for smelling
Explanation
The correct answer is "nose is for smelling." The nose is the sense organ responsible for the sense of smell. It contains olfactory receptors that detect and identify different odors in the environment. Smelling is the primary function of the nose, allowing us to perceive and distinguish various scents.

15. Which of these skills uses the senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste to describe the things around us?
Correct Answer
D. Observing
Explanation
Observing is the skill that uses the senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste to describe the things around us. When we observe, we use our senses to gather information and make detailed descriptions of what we see, hear, smell, touch, and taste. This skill is essential in scientific research, as well as in everyday life, as it helps us understand and interpret the world around us.
