Today in Science, we used our sense of taste to identify, describe and rate different flavours. Firstly, we looked at each other’s tongues to spot the tiny bumps, which are our taste buds. Then, we discussed that foods have different flavours, such as sweet, spicy, bitter, sour and salty. Year 1 had to use their scientific skills to identify which flavour matched the food. They tried banana, lemon, dark chocolate, ginger biscuits and salted popcorn. They then rated the food out of 10 depending on how much they liked the flavour. It was great to see that all the children tried the foods, even if they knew that they didn’t like them. Well done Year 1!
