Teacher: Miss Anyssa Brown
Grade: Pre- K
Content Area: Our 5 Senses- Taste
   1. Content and Standards: Standard Area AL.4 Learning through Experience
   2. Prerequisites: Students should know what body parts are used for each sense as well as
      the different things we can taste (ex. Sour sweet salty bitter)
   3. Essential Questions: 1. Which food fits what Taste category?
                           2. Can you describe what you taste?
   4. Materials and Equipment: Students will be given a worksheet that has four different
      categories of food (sour sweet salty and bitter). Students will also be given a food that fits
      each category. Students will be give a marker and a glue stick to complete the worksheet.
   5. Instructional Objective: Following a class discussion on our five senses, body parts we
      use for each sense, and the different categories of taste; students will complete a taste test
      and identify which food fits in the different categories of taste.
   6. Instructional Procedures:
       Before: Start the class with circle time where we will review our body parts and
          which body parts are used for our senses. We will read a story that has tasting in it.
          “There was an old lady who swallowed some leaves” After the story is done, we will
          have a class discussion about what the lady swallowed and if she tasted it and we will
          then talk about what we like to taste and what we don’t like to taste. We will end
          circle time by doing our transition of sorting pictures to the correct Sense and splitting
          to our small group tables.
                                                                           Time: 15minutes
       During: Students will be split into their small group tables based on (those going to
          kindergarten next year are the long table and the rest go to the two smaller “peanut”
          tables). When they get to the table there will be cups and a worksheet in front of them
          with a marker, and clue stick and pictures of the foods that were cut out. Students will
          be asked to grab one of the foods and taste it. After students taste it, they will be
          asked wether it is sour, sweet, salty, or bitter. They will then glue the picture of the
          food next the the word they picked and then they will color the smiley face if they
          like it and the sad face if they don’t like it. Students will repeat this process for the
          other 3 foods.
                                                                           Time: 20 minutes
       After: Students will have a discussion at their small group tables about the foods that
          they tasted and wether they like them or not. Students will then be asked wether they
          can name any other foods that are sour sweet salty or bitter.
                                                                           Time: 5 minutes
   7. Assessment:
Objective: Following a class         Assessment: Students will

body parts we use for each           their small groups to match
sense, and the different             the food with the category

different categories of taste.
  8. Differentiated Instruction:
         a. All of my students are on the same learning levels at this time and with this lesson
            there is no need to differentiate anything for any specific child or group of
            children.
