Interaction EXPERIMENT TIME

Aim: Use your senses to compare objects 

Use your senses to analyze and understand the world. When you focus on one sense at a time, you realize how powerful they are. 

Taste each food. Use the information from your tongue.

Remember! Food can taste bitter, sour, sweet, salty, disgusting or delicious. 

e.g.: Let's taste the apple first... 

Mmm, it tastes sweet, sour and delicious. 

Do the same with all different foods. 

Now it's time to analyze our results. Are there any foods with the same qualities? 

And what about your hypotheses, were you right? 

1. Choose different foods, like some lettuce, an apple, a few slices of ham, a lemon (compare 4 or 5).

Take a pen and a piece of paper to record the results. 

2. hypothesis: 

a) Which foods will be the easiest to describe? Why?

b) Which do you think will be the most difficult? Write down your hypotheses.

3. Method: Use your senses and write a sentence to describe each food.
