Third graders, in groups, complete a science lab in which they perform a blind taste test on eight different foods--some sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. They determine which parts of the tongue "taste" which kinds of foods. they record...

Students swab different sections of the tongue to identify taste buds. In this sense of taste lesson plan, students make predictions and conduct an experiment. Students experiment with a variety of flavors and discuss results...

Learners analyze taste buds. For this taste lesson, students complete an experiment in groups of four people. Learners have four cups with a different substance in each cup. One student dips a Q-tip into each cup and tests on another...

High schoolers experiment with sense of smell, and how it relates to sense of taste.

First graders taste a variety of items and record a full sentence about the way they taste.  In this taste buds instructional activity, 1st graders predict and then taste various items.  Students draw a picture of the tongue...

Young scholars explore the relationship between the senses of taste and smell using a blindfold taste test. In partners, they taste different foods with their noses plugged and unplugged. They create a life size outline of the human...

Students conduct various experiments to see if different parts of the tongue are more sensitive to different characteristics of food.

Middle schoolers examine how the brain can link or senses and how our tongue determines the basic tastes.  In this five senses lesson students complete a taste test. 

Students investigate the four taste regions of the tongue. In this biology lesson, students view a diagram of a tongue and identify the four regions. Students perform a taste test with lemons, sugar, and crackers.

Pupils explore human anatomy by conducting a human senses experiment. In this taste lesson, students identify the main purpose of a tongue and how it enhances our eating habits. Pupils utilize baking coca, lemon juice, salt and honey to...

Students collect data to be used in selecting the class favorite taste. They predict which among the common flavors such as salty, sweet, sour, or bitter is preferred.

Fourth graders taste different flavors on their popcorn. In this taste bud lesson, 4th graders make predictions about taste and dip popcorn into four different flavors. They record how the flavors tasted - sweet, salty, bitter, or sour.

Students complete an experiment on water to study water quality. For this water quality lesson, students complete a taste test experiment about chemicals in water. Students then study their local water environments and recorded toxins....

Using your senses, apprehend the effects of contaminants in water. With a global focus, young scientists conduct a safe experiment by tasting sugar and salt water with different dilutions. After reviewing threshold limits, learners write...

Students examine acceptable levels of toxins in swimming areas. Working in groups of four, students dilute a salt or sugar solution to 1 part per 1,000,000 (ppm) solution. Students taste test their diluted liquids and record at which...

Students study human population traits. In this science lesson plan, students gain an understanding of the terms dominant, recessive, haploid (monoploid), diploid, genotype, phenotype, scientific sampling, and scientific modeling as they...

Wait, there is an effective way to practice writing dialogue with your high school class? Great! High schoolers will have a blast writing dialogue using a list of potentially silly situations and an image of people talking. Employ the...

Students participate in this program that heightens their awareness and curiosity of nature as well as their sense of adventure and exploring new surroundings. They identify and choose an object from nature after exploring it with other...

Students explore the concept of models. In this model instructional activity, students examine 3-dimensional models of various objects and body parts to better understand the natural world.

Determine your sensitivity to taste by examining your tongue for the number of papillae, or taste buds, per centimeter. Investigate how capsaicin, the component that gives peppers their heat, can also be used as an anesthetic and pain...
