This week we have been learning all about our sense of smell and taste!
We know that on our tongue we have tastebuds.
We know that it can taste 5 things savoury, salty, sweet, bitter and sour!
On Wednesday we did a taste test with a difference because we had to wear blindfolds! We were trying to guess how it tasted with only our taste buds!
Take a look at our faces!
What we thought…..
The chocolate was yummy and sweet – James
The cheese was yummy and savoury – Jay
The lime was yucky and sour – Rory
On Thursday we did an experiment! We had to use our senses to work out the flavours of crisps that had lost their packaging. We used our senses of smell and taste to solve the problem! There were 3 different types to sort.
Here are the results…
What we learned from the experiment….
The ready salted was hard because it didn’t have a strong smell – Ruth
The prawn cocktail was easy because it had a very strong smell – Zak & Callan
Salt & Vinegar was easy when we tasted it but not when we smelled it – Alfie & Gracie
We learned on Friday that when you hold your nose you can’t smell or taste! Crazy!!
It sounds like you had fun tasting all those different crisps! You have been learning lots about your senses. Well done.
Super learning about the senses. You look like you are having lots of fun tasting those crisps!
