How to reference this medium
We perceive different flavors using sensory cells known as "taste buds." With them, we can perceive five basic types of flavor: sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami (meaty, savory).
Information and Ideas:
• The teacher/educator should prepare a small "taste bar" by serving small snacks and samples of the various foods on the plates, sorted by flavor types. Find out beforehand whether any of the children suffer from intolerances to any of the foods provided.
• Please observe the general safety and hygiene measures and safety instructions in the respective teaching methods as well as the applicable safety guidelines for your school.
• All materials mentioned in the instructions will have to be purchased directly from commercial sources.
