Early Year 1 – Science: Exploring Taste Through Our Senses
Early Years 1 scientists put their tongues to the test in a delicious—and sometimes surprising—sensory adventure!
To explore the four basic tastes (sweet, salty, sour, and bitter), students sampled a bold menu that included honey, brown sugar, lime, lemon, kiwi, bitter gourd, and even coffee. After each bite, the young food critics described their reactions, compared flavor profiles, and discovered that everyone’s taste buds react a little differently to the same foods.
By connecting abstract tastes to real-world ingredients, EY1 didn’t just learn vocabulary—they boosted their early science, observation, and communication skills, all while building the brave curiosity needed to try new foods!
