    • Susan Shonle
       
      Extensions: Connect Science & Tech with LA.

    Natural vs. Artificial: Can You Taste the Difference? You probably know that cane sugar isn't good for you in large doses, but did you know that many artificial sweeteners can't even be processed by your body?  Supplies: Real maple syrup, pancake syrup containing high fructose corn syrup, cane sugar, artificial sweetener such as Splenda or Equal, honey, honey flavoring, fresh orange juice, orange juice from concentrate, paper, and pencil. Set up the experiment by preparing small samples of each food for tasting, arranging them in sets according to type.

Test Your Tongue: Are Strawberries Sweet or Sour? | Education.com - 1 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      This activity can be used for older grade levels by having students first try the experiment and then having them find answers as to why different substances cause different tastes. This activity could also be connected to math by graphing the results of what student liked what taste the best or the worst.

    This activity is a fun experiment involving the sense of taste. Students can practice their observation skills by noting the differences in tastes.

Taste testing without your sense of smell - Fun Science Experiments for Kids - 1 views

    • Liz Dilts
       
      1.1.1 Use all senses as appropriate to identify the component parts of objects and the materials from which they are made. Differentiation: For students with learning disabilities, coming up with the words to describe what their senses are communicating to them can be very difficult.  Writing down their experience can be even more difficult.  Instead, allow students to draw what they think they are tasting and pictures to represent certain adjectives such as 'sweet'.
  •  
    In this activity students must use their senses to decide what they are tasting.  They must plug their nose and see how their senses are connected.

    This is a classic, although I have also seen an onion used where you hold a piece of onion under a blindfolded person's nose and have him/her eat a potato or an apple, and the person thinks he/she is actually eating an onion.

ZOOM . activities . sci . Butter | PBS Kids - 2 views

    • Liz Dilts
       
      1.1.2 Characterize materials as solid or liquid, investigate their properties, record observations and explain the choices to others based on evidence (i.e., physical properties). 1.1.3  Experiment with simple methods for separating solids and liquids based on their physical properties. Differentiation: Gifted students could do extended research on how people used to make butter in the pioneer days.  Have them note what was similar to how they made butter, and what was different.
  •  
    In this activity, students will shake heavy cream in a jar to watch a liquid turn into a solid-butter!  This is a very simple, yet exciting project that can then be eaten later!
  •  
    I remember doing this as a child in school. We spread it on saltine crackers because the teacher said that it needed a little salt to make it taste better.
