About this episode

In this episode we'll explore the taste buds on our tongues, discover the incredible range of flavours we can detect, and unravel the science behind why we experience different tastes. We explore why spicy foods make us feel hot and the important role that our nose plays when we taste food - like chocolate. We also give you a science experiment that you can do with your parents. But that's not all! We will also answer the exciting questions that you have sent us about all kinds of topics including fairies! 

Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark
