What foods do you know how to cook? Write out the recipe for something
you have made, showing what you mixed and how you did it; and in what,
and how long, you cooked it. 6. Give three reasons for cooking food.
7. How is fried food so often made indigestible? 8. Are sweet foods
good or harmful? What does sugar come from? How is it made? 9. Write a
little story about one of these things: My First Lesson in Cooking;
Our Taffy Party; How I Kept Flies out of the Kitchen; How We Boys
Cooked Breakfast (or Supper); My Marketing.

VI. TASTING AND SMELLING. 1. If anyone asked you how a lemon tastes,
what would you say? What would you say about sugar? Salt? Pepper?
Pickles? Strawberries? Cheese? Onions? Radishes? How did you learn
about each of these? 2. What does your tongue do besides receiving
tastes? Note in the picture (p. 86) how strongly your tongue is
rooted; point to the tip of it in the picture. 3. How does your nose
help your throat and your lungs? How else may it help you? 4. Draw a
picture to show how air reaches the lungs. 5. What are _adenoids_? How

throat and voice. Put your hand on the place where your voice is made.
How is it made? 3. On your own picture of the throat, show where those

the fold of skin, or _vocal cord_, on the right half of the windpipe).

VIII. THINKING AND ANSWERING. 1. With two or three of your classmates,
play telephone;--one must be "Central" and one "Information" at the
central office, and one must receive your message and answer it. A
number of the other children may join hands to make a long "wire" on
each side of "Central"; they will repeat the message softly from one

"Body-Telephone" call:--The eye s
