Chapter 13: Advent

This weeks objectives: Students will learn about the Church Season of Advent and that it is the time we get ready to celebrate Jesus’ birth at Christmas.

 

Science: LabLearner

Students will begin their new set of Investigations with their new Unit: Our Senses.  During this Unit, students will conduct several investigations focused on exploring our five senses.  Students will use their senses of hearing, sight, touch, smell, and taste to experience and observe the world around them.  Through these investigations, students will develop both their observational skills and their understanding of the human body.

Investigation 5: The Sense of Taste

Students will eat four foods and describe the flavor of each when exploring the sense of taste in Investigation Five.  Students will classify the foods according to the four categories of flavors: sweet, sour, bitter, and salty.

This Investigation is designed to:

  1. give students an opportunity to explore their sense of taste
  2. introduce students to the four basic categories of taste: sweet, salty, bitter, and sour
  3. help students understand that observations can be recorded in different ways
  4. show students that taste is a property of foods.
