Five senses help a person to receive primary information about any object, person or event, etc. For instance, students can see the teacher experiment, hear the explanation, touch the item or product, smell the product, taste the product, etc. Through these five events (five sense organs) or one activity (single sense organ), students can build and verify the experiment's information. Sensory perceptions are therefore the only important source or instrument for knowledge acquisition. If a researcher is involved, the sensory perception is important to him to collect information and check that the acquired knowledge is authentic and original..........................................................................................................................................
