Science – Tasting Activity

After learning about the five senses, the year 3.2 students participated in different activities in order to use all of their five senses.  The activities included observing a picture in order to find hidden objects in it, paying attention to different sounds they heard and stating what they were, touching objects they use in class every day, comparing and contrasting things having different smells and determining which smells are harmful to us. Finally, they had a tasting activity.  The students could not see what they were tasting. They could only determine what it was by using their sense of taste and thinking about whether what they tasted was sweet or sour, whether it felt soft or crunchy whilst eating it and obviously by what it tasted like. The students tasted things like bell peppers, pretzels, lemons, chocolate, popcorn, biscuits and so on.  It was truly an activity that appealed to all our five senses!
