Your Sense of Taste

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A simple and sweet activity shows students how important smell is in interpreting flavor. Pairs of pupils hold their noses and eat Life Savers®, only to find that they can't identify the flavors until they let go. You will appreciate that this is an easy-to-implement and relatively clean taste-test activity to use in your senses curriculum.
