The Sense of Smell and Taste Introduction: Every day we use our sense of smell and taste.

We can smell flowers and we can taste our food. These are both two very important senses but there may be something you did not know. Did you also know that the two go together as well? Task: The class will be put into groups of 3 where each group will research the senses of smell and taste. Each member of the group will need to come up with five pieces of information/facts about each of the two senses. Along with that, the facts and information will need to be put onto a poster where a drawing that represents each senses is displayed. Be creative! Finally each group will need to answer the two questions. How do taste and smell go together? Can you taste without smell? Be clear and work together! Get to learning! Process: The poster must be very colorful and display all information! So use these websites to help. Dont forget your question!
