SESSION OUTLINE

FOCUS: (5–15 minutes)
Welcome students and pass out the snacks and drinks. Allow a few minutes for students to visit and enjoy the snacks, and wait for reactions that might come from students drinking the salted beverage.
Say: Some tastes just don’t mix well. You enjoy salt on some foods, but not in your drink. Can you think of other food tastes that don’t go together well? (Ex: toothpaste and orange juice, gum and pretzels.) Write answers down on the board.
Divide the board into two columns, one labeled “SWEET”, and the other “SOUR”. Ask students to name something that is really sweet that they like to eat, and write the responses down under the “SWEET” column. Then, repeat the procedure for the “SOUR” column. This is an example chart:

SWEET - chocolate, cookies, peanut butter, ice cream SOUR - sour cream, pickles, sour-patch kids, lemons

After a few minutes of this, draw some lines from items in the “SWEET” column to items in the “SOUR” column that wouldn’t mix very well. Example: Chocolate covered pickles! Can they imagine these taste combinations?

CONNECT: (1 minute)
Say: “It’s amazing how our tongue can react differently to the different things that come into the mouth. Now let’s look at how the tongue affects the things that come out of our mouth.”
