The Skittle Effect
Human Health and Behavior- Grade:

- Teacher:
- Jennifer Johnson
Our class explored how our noses and taste buds work together by testing whether smells could trick our brains into tasting different flavors. We chose this project because we were curious about how our senses affect the way food and drinks taste. After tasting sugar water with different scented chapstick under each cup, we discovered that many students thought they tasted different flavors even though the liquid was the same. This project is important because it helped us understand how our bodies work and why food may taste different when we have a stuffy nose or cold.
What a creative experiment! Isn’t it fascinating how much all of our senses work together??? This class is well on their way to being great scientists – keep up the great work!!!
Amazing project! Good job, guys! I love the fact that this is both interesting and educating.
What a fun experiment! And, a great lesson to always know what you are ingesting, because your nose can trick your brain!!
