MATERIAL:

No special material is needed.

PURPOSE:

1) To make the child more aware of taste
2) To make the child intelligently observant
3) To help develop ability to make finer discriminations

PRESENTATION:

For snack or meals the teacher can help children become consciously 
aware of taste. The teacher should make sure to present only
things that have a pleasant taste. It is interesting to
present things that have very subtle tastes. For example, children will
enjoy comparing the tastes of a variety of apples (delicious,
Jonathan, Pippin, Macintosh, etc.), melons (cantaloupe, honeydew,
Crenshaw, watermelon, etc.), grapes (red, green, purple), or cheeses
(cheddar, Jack, string, gouda, etc.).

sweet - salty - bitter - sour
