“I was amazed at the resilience my students developed - they went from refusing to even taste certain foods to wanting to try everything ”
What people are saying.
Authentic Learning Experience
“We loved this kit. It was full of great ideas with lots of flexibility built in. It was a great bit of authentic learning. The experiments really opened our eyes to the links between taste, smell and sight. This opened up lots of meaningful discussions during our eating time.”
Developing Resilience
“Many of the students in my classes had never before seen some of the words we used in this kit e.g. zesty, tangy, mushy, sickly and so on.
In this way this kit has provided them with a whole new perspective on words used to describe taste and smell. I feel it has given my learners a better perspective on taste and its importance and the ways we need to push through challenges”
