Blind Taste-Test

Today in science we are doing the blind taste test. We get into pairs and one person will be tasting and the other will be writing down.

 Aim: To taste foods that are sweet, bitter. sour, salty.

Equipment:
1. samples 1-9
2. blindfold glasses
3. recording chart
4. ice cream stick taster.

Method:
1. get safety glasses and make a blindfold
2.set up your chart and make sure that the person you are working with knows where to record your responses.
3.Using an ice cream stick you will dip it into the sample. Once the sample is on the stick you will taste it and tell your partner your response.
4. There will be 2 answers.
5. At taste test one you need to hold your nose.
Answer 1. is it sweet, sour, salty, bitter. record it.
Answer 2. what do you think it is. record it.
6. Repeat this for the next samples but you will only need to use your ice cream stick taster for sample 1 - 4.
