Summary
The relationship between our senses and food is explored in this short science video for KS2 and KS3 pupils.
All of our senses come into play, to a greater or lesser extent, when we encounter food with taste and smell being the most important.
The video also shows how our tastes change as we grow older, such as growing to like foods with spicy or strong flavours.
