We've been exploring our sense of taste here in second grade and the results have been delicious... and sometimes kind of yucky! This week we tried a whole lot of different foods to see what kinds of tastes we could discover. Did you know that along with the tastes we all know and love--sweet, sour, salty, and bitter--scientists have also discovered a FIFTH taste known as "umami"? Umami is a savory taste and can be found in foods like meat, mushrooms, cheeses, and soy sauce! Can you think of tastes we missed?
In the slideshow below, you'll see all of the fun we had this week like our Taste Test, our Tasty Meal Collages, and the Banana Crunch Muffins we made with Ms. Stephanie!
