Grade 4 hard worksheet on senses working together and reflex actions. Students explore how smell, taste, and touch combine for flavor, how a hot stove triggers a fast reflex through the spinal cord, and how blind spots and optical illusions show that the brain interprets signals. Includes multiple-choice and fill-in items with Grade 4 science vocabulary. This Grade 4 worksheet supports classroom practice and homework.

Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. A quick automatic response to a sense signal is called a reflex.
2. When you touch a hot pan, signals travel through skin nerves to your spinal cord and back to muscles.
