Lesson Title: Exploring Flavours

Learning Intention: To be able to identify different flavours of food.

Success Criteria: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to identify at least three different flavours of food and explain how they taste.

Introduction: Begin the lesson by discussing with the students the concept of flavours. Ask them to think about their favorite foods and what flavors they can taste in them. Introduce the idea that there are different types of flavors such as sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.

Main Part of the Lesson: 1. Share new knowledge: Show the students pictures of different foods and discuss the flavors they can taste in each one. 2. Stimulate discussion: Ask the students to share their favorite foods and what flavors they can taste in them. Encourage them to use descriptive words to explain the flavors. 3. Activity: Provide the students with a variety of food samples (e.g. sweet, sour, salty, bitter) and ask them to taste each one and identify the flavor. They can then record their findings on a worksheet.

Plenary: Gather the students together and discuss their findings from the tasting activity. Ask them to share what flavors they were able to identify and how they tasted. Reinforce the concept of different flavors and encourage them to continue exploring new foods.

Differentiation: - Provide visual aids for students who may struggle with identifying flavors. - Offer support to students who may find it challenging to articulate their thoughts on the flavors they taste. - Allow students to work in pairs or small groups to discuss their findings and support each other.

Assessment Strategies: - Observe students during the tasting activity to see if they are able to correctly identify flavors. - Review the completed worksheets to assess students’ understanding of different flavors. - Have students share their findings during the plenary to assess their ability to articulate their thoughts.

Higher Order Thinking Questions: 1. How do different flavors affect the overall taste of a dish? (Analyzing) 2. Can you think of a food that combines multiple flavors? How do they complement each other? (Evaluating)
