Did you ever wonder why your favourite foods taste so good? Well, you can thank your taste buds for letting you appreciate the saltiness of chips and the sweetness of ice cream. However, you wouldn't be able to taste anything without some help from your nose. In this Clever Little Cooks Project you will learn all about the senses of our bodies - sight, smell, taste, touch and sounds and these all work together every day. We cover why you feel hungry, how your digestive system works and why it is important to eat the different types of foods (carbohydrates, proteins etc). Also find out why you can't tickle yourself and why you burp! We cover all the food groups using fruit and vegetables only. We are making some yummy Veggie Burgers (Muscle Makers) and Warm Fruit Parcels (Bone Builders). The big surprise in this project is a dessert that you make with zip lock bags, ice cubes and your muscles.....you burn the calories off making the dessert (shaking) then gobble it down with your fruit parcels. This dessert is full of calcium (dairy products) especially for Healthy Bones Week. |
