Big ideas: Taste helps us, among other

READ THE ARTICLE
• Tasting and smelling work very
closely together. If you can’t
smell your food, it is difficult to
recognize the taste. You may
have noticed this when you’ve
had a bad cold with a stuffed
up nose.
• Tasting is the work of your
tongue. All over your tongue
are tiny taste sensors called
buds. If you look at your
tongue in a mirror, you can see
the small groups of taste buds.
They are what give your
tongue its rough appearance.
Each taste bud has a small
opening in it. Tiny pieces of
food and drink enter this
opening. There are taste
sensors gather information
about the taste and send
messages to your brain. Your
brain decides what the taste is.

blender. Then you add strawberries,
bananas, tomatoes. Last, you throw in a

the blender crushes the mixture into a
drink, you and your sister argue over who

food on the
blackboard.Divide
students into groups of 3
or 4. One student in each
group is blindfolded, who
pinches his nose and
tasted the food, guessing
what it is. Then he smells
it and tasted it again,
changing the guess if
needed. He must
describe the texture and
how it smell and tastes.

items and the guess,and
let him know what it really
is. When 5 items have
been presented, the
blindfold is taken off and
another student wears
the blindfold.
