Notice to Teachers

We have transitioned to a materials list approach to the STEMonDemand lessons from this point forward, due to limited availability of our grant materials and funding. We are still excited to be able to provide teachers with fun video lessons, lesson plans, materials lists, classroom handouts, etc. needed to experience fun, engaging STEM lessons!

“Tastebud Tango”

Investigate Your Sense of Taste!

Taste is one of the five senses. Exploring the sense of taste and how it helps us identify and make observations is a key component of science. Because science requires us to make skillful observations using our senses, students need to fully understand the five senses before moving on to other science lessons. This lesson will help students become fully aware of their sense of taste, the part of their body they use to taste and learn a little about their taste buds using the activities in this fun and tasty lesson.

Approximate time needed: 1 hour
