SCIENCE: The Senses

Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow

How beautiful the roses are in the garden today
The scent is so refreshing I wish I could stay
The bluebirds are singing sweetly so I pause to enjoy the melody
I wish this could be the experience for everybody
I welcome the rush of the cool, gentle breeze on my face
I pull a berry from the flower, ohh it is so sweet to the taste
I am grateful for the ability to enjoy this beautiful place
