Sensessssssssssssssssss!!

Today in class we went through stations that showed us different things about our 5 senses, and tied everything together with what we read in the book. One of the stations was a jelly bean station. What you had to do was eat a jelly bean, and guess what kind it was. But every other time you had to plug your nose. The experiment was showing us that your nose is connected with your sense of taste. When our nose was plugged we couldn't taste what flavor jelly bean we were eating.

I began to think about real life situations, and being sick came to mind. When you have a cold, and your nose is stuffy, it's really hard to taste the food your eating. The relationship between your nose being unplugged, and your sense of taste is so close together, that it causes you not to be able to taste your food. This had never occured to me before I started talking AP Psych.
