Science Experiment!

I'm so behind on EVERYTHING in my life....why would my blog be any different? Savannah was required to do a science experiment for her class and I turned this one over to Powell since science is more his thing. Savannah did a fabulous job going through the whole scientific process and was 1 of 7 chosen from her class to go to BYU for the science fair there. Her hypothesis was: "Someone's perception of taste can be effected by the way something looks". She had people come to our house for the experiment which was a jello tasting. People were asked to taste jello while blindfolded and say what flavor it was. Then they were asked to taste the jello (3 kinds) again while looking at the jello and say what flavor it was a second time. The jello was dyed a different color than the flavor (peach was dyed blue). Her conclusion was 1. When people don't know what they are going to be tasting they have a hard time distinguishing flavors (a lot of people missed the flavors of jello when they were blindfolded). 2. People tend to choose a flavor that corresponds to the color (blue jello they assumed was blue raspberry, blueberry, etc. when in was really peach). Way to go Savannah! She is sooooo excited to go to BYU.
