texture (p.25)	a what question
recognise (p.28)	splitting up the sour sweet salty bitter and savoury

3. On Page 29, there is the great jelly bean challenge. Mrs Parker will provide you with some Jelly Beans (or other items) to complete this task. SHARE
   Use the template for a science report below to write what you did, and what you found.

Question: Do our taste buds require smell? yes

Hypothesis:

I think that it will be  a identify taste that I wouldn't have tasted  before. When I unblock my nose the flavour was different because its sweet .I think that it will be plain if you block your nose.

Materials:

• your eyes

• blindfold
• Jellybeans
• partner       
• your mouth

Procedure:

• get my partner
• close my eyes
• hold my nose
• then pop a jelly bean in my mouth  
• see what the taste will be

Observations:

 

Conclusion: I think that i was correct for some of the questions and the rest was identify.
