HAFTR students add a twist in learning about the tongue

Posted

HAFTR’s third grade scientists and chemists created their own flavored beverage and learned about the five taste areas of the tongue.

Students did a taste test with citric acid and dextrose mixed with water and determined the amount of citric acid and dextrose they wanted to add to water as their ingredients to make their drink either sour or sweet.

They designed a label for their bottles. Some added a kosher symbol and even named their individual drinks.
