Year 1 Science - Exploring Taste

This week was Year 1's first Science lesson of the year learning about the 5 senses of sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. This week it was ‘taste’ with the children sampling different foods including salt, yoghurt, lemon juice, toothpaste, soya sauce , honey and marmalade. The children had to use adjectives to describe the taste such as bitter, sweet, sour, savoury or umami (a savoury but quite bland taste eg. mushrooms).

It was extremely amusing watching the children’s expressions as they sampled each food!
