Taste Lab

The 5 Senses 

Today was a great day for science! I put my class to work as taste testers. We sampled pickle juice, lime juice, candy, honey, potato chips and pretzels. 

I was surprised to see many students enjoying the pickle juice. The faces the students made after sampling the lime juice was just precious and hilarious :)

We tasted foods and drinks that were sweet, sour and salty
The workstation consisted of food and drink samples and a data collecting sheet

Our class mascot: Miss Moo At the beginning of the year I have her sitting around the classroom. She demonstrates good classroom behaviors. After a few weeks, I send her home with the star student. She stays at the student's home for one night. I only send her home Monday-Thursdays. I take her home Friday to give her a bath in the washer! Her take home pack consists of: 1.

Jellybean Taste Lab

Students randomly pick 6 jelly beans to sample. They bring the jelly beans to their desk with the worksheet and draw picture of each jellybean. Next they taste one jelly bean at a time. They make a happy face if they like it and the sad faces they don't. Students make a guess as to what it tastes like and then check their answers with the packaging from the jelly bean container. It was a blast!
