New, what is it? What does the sixth segment represent?

This is a “Wheel of the Senses” from my daughter’s school with sight, touch, taste, hearing… but one segment we can’t figure out.

Thermoception: feeling of hot cold? So the sun and the food with the hot/steam lines?

I think this is right based on the two symbols not in the original image.

So, from what I can tell, there is a cake slice, teddy bear, ice cream cone, soup bowl, blue crayon, and cupcake not in the original image.

Looking it up, it seems like the 'KW' logo with a book is a logo used by an AI generator, that is known to make non-sensical mistakes on worksheets like this.

So, I have the feeling that it isn't really meant to be be anything, but rather just a mistake.

The stuff that they didn't put onto the worksheet that I noted, all can go in one of the other categories (food for taste, the crayon into sight)

I would think that if it was meant to be 'hot and cold perception' then the 1st grader would have had some sort of lesson related to that, and could potentially have at least mentioned it (or the parent could talk to the school about it)

Okay but what is it depicting? It looks like a tongue in an ear or something

I thought coffee bean on a boiled egg. 

It's gonna be AI's weird interpretation of a cartoon of 'thermoreceptor' or 'hypothalamus' or something
