Using our taste buds

taste

 

During a Science lesson the yr 3.1 students of Ms Sharon were talking about the 5 senses. In the above photo students were focused on the sense of taste. They learnt about taste buds found on the tongue which help us taste things we eat, depending on whether they are sweet or sour. The children tasted different food with their eyes closed and relied solely on their sense of taste to guess what the food was – (carrot, broccoli, lemon, popcorn, cereal, chocolate and biscuit). All students guessed what their food was and really enjoyed the activity!
