Big STEAMers is a program that focuses on the five areas of STEAM; science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, all geared toward elementary-aged kids.  This week's topic: Taste.  In this exciting 1-hour class, our young scientists will dive into the delicious world of taste! We'll explore the five basic tastes—sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami—and learn how our tongue and brain work together to identify them. But there's a twist: we'll run a hands-on experiment to see how smell affects taste! With noses pinched and taste buds ready, students will test mystery foods and discover how much our sense of smell influences flavor. Through interactive games, group discussions, and sensory challenges, kids will leave with a better understanding of how their bodies experience the world of taste.  For ages 6-11.  Sponsored by the Friends of the West Windsor Library.
