Step-by-Step Plan

Students will watch and listen to a My-On read aloud on the sense of taste.
Students will review how there are different taste buds that taste different
things during a discussion.
Students will sit at their desks and predict how items taste.
Teachers will hand out one item at a time with a small cup of water, all
students will taste the first item and write down whether they think it is
sweet, sour, salty, or bitter. Then students will discuss what they think this
item is, the teacher will reveal it after all have tasted and recorded their
thoughts.
This will repeat until every item has been tasted.

If applicable, how does this lesson connect to the interests and cultural backgrounds of your students?
The food students eat is an integral part of their culture and so, knowing and understanding the sense of taste
will help them learn to better describe the tastes of their food.

Relevant Psychological Theories
and research taken in
consideration when planning this
lesson

Howard Gardners Theory of Multiple Intelligences is taking place as students are accessing their visual,
intrapersonal, and naturalistic intelligences. This happens through the examination of the items they will taste
and the thought process while considering how an item tastes.
