It is more difficult to identify the juices while holding

Very interesting! I didn't know that the nose played such an important role in what you taste.
ReplyDeleteWould it matter if you placed a drop of the juice on the side of your tongue rather than just drinking it? I know their are different taste buds on your tongue, so I'm wondering if it would help to strategically place the juice on your tongue??
ReplyDeleteGreat job!!!
Great job! I remember doing this experiment in Biology and I found it really interesting. This would be fun to do in the classroom...just watch out for food allergies.
