The aim of this chapter is to valorise the use of the senses in the science classroom. In particular, the author argues that drawing on all the senses pushes the student beyond the rote performance of scientific actions and processes and engages the learner in purposeful knowledge construction. The study offers teachers alternative teaching strategies, referred to as sense-experience approaches (SEAs), to enhance the use of the senses in the science classroom to assist learners to codify, analyse and construct knowledge. The application of the learners' senses has the effect of positioning learners "within' the theories of science so that they are involved in the articulation of scientific knowledge. The chapter offers practical suggestions for using SEAs in the science classroom.
