Jelly bean tasting
Aim: to decide which gender is better at determining the flavour of jelly beans using the sense of smell and taste.
Materials:

• Blindfold to make sure students cannot identify flavour of jelly bean by colour
• Snap-Lock bag to carry jelly beans in
• Glass of water to refresh taste buds after each Jelly bean

Health & safety: to ensure that all safety precautions are taken, the jelly beans need to be inclosed in a ziplock bag. Any participants in this experiment
