This week we started our new topic learning all about the mouth and digestion. Our focus this week was the mouth. We first of all learnt about the different shapes of teeth and how herbivore and carnivores teeth differ. We then moved on the understand the role of Sliva, we dried our tongues out and then ate a cracker, we then had a drink of water and ate another bit of the cracker. We found out that without our silva we were unable to taste our crackers and we found it hard to swallow! Next, we did some taste testing, we had some liquids that were sweet, salty, sour and bitter. We used cotton buds to put the liquid on different spots on our tongues to find out which parts are more sensitive to tastes, we then recorded our findings on our tongue maps, we came to the decision that our taste buds on the side and tip of our tongue were more sensitive to taste. What a great lesson we had!
