It is said that the older people get the less you can taste salt so we decided to test about 35 different people of all ages to see what they thought.

Good job!
This project investigates an interesting question about whether age affects a person’s ability to taste salt. The experiment included a relatively large group of participants and used multiple salt concentrations, which helps strengthen the study design. The use of blind testing and labeled samples was also a good approach to reduce bias during tasting.
Overall, this is a thoughtful project that shows curiosity about human senses and health. The student demonstrated good effort in collecting data and presenting the results with graphs and tables.
