How does our sense of smell
affect our sense of taste?

Have you ever known exactly what
your food would taste like just from
smelling it?

If you could not smell your food before
tasting it would it taste the same?

Hypothesis: (If… then…)

1. If I blindfold and cover a person nose and have the
person taste food, then the person will not be able to
identify the food.

2. If I blindfold and cover a persons nose and have the
person taste grape syrup (something sweet) and lime
(something sour), then the person will be able to
identify the sour food better than the sweet food.

Materials

Materials I will need

Blindfold
Nose plugs (a clean pair for each participant)
Lime juice
Grape syrup
Medicine dropper
Safety Goggles
2 solid colored cups
Water for clearing the pallet

                                              Process

1.     Blindfold each participant
2.     Close the participant’s nose with the clothespins.
3.     Drop two drop of grape syrup from the medicine dropper onto the
     participants tongue.
4.     Ask the participant to identify the liquid just from the taste.
5.     Give the participant a cup with water to drink to clear the pallet.
6.     Record the participants answer
7.     Repeat step 1-5 with the lime juice.
8.     Record the participants answer
9.     Remove the blindfold then allow the participant to smell the grape syrup.
10.     Repeat step 3-5 with the grape syrup.
11.     Record the participant's answer
12.     Allow the participant to smell the lemon juice.
13.     Repeat step 3-5 with the lemon juice.
14.     Record the participants answer

Observation

Key

GWS = Guess without smelling
GAS = Guess after smelling
√ = Correct guess

I observed that before smelling the
flavors 33.33% of the participants said
it was the grape flavor while 66.67%
said it was something other than grape.

After smelling the grape flavor 50% of
the participants guessed it was grape,
and 50% said it was something other
than grape.

For the lime favor before smelling it
83.33% said it was lime and 16.67%
said that that it was something else.
