Taste and smell team — Senses Observatory · Body Quest

Taste and smell work together. Sort the facts. The tongue senses sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami. Taste buds are replaced about every two weeks.

Your task

Sort each statement.

• The tongue senses sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami.
• A fictional journey, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, talk to a trusted adult or a health professional (Portugal: SNS 24 — 808 24 24 24; emergency: 112).
• Every body is different and every body is valid. Nothing about you or your health is collected.

Score

• Body knowledge — You understood how this part of the body works.
• Healthy habits — You chose habits that help your body.
• Safe & ask for help — You stayed safe and knew when to ask a trusted adult.

Real science

Taste buds are replaced about every two weeks.

A fictional journey, not medical advice — we never diagnose. Pain, injuries or worries: talk to a trusted adult (SNS 24: 808 24 24 24; emergency 112; SOS Criança 116 111). Nothing about you or your health is collected; progress stays on this device.
