Monday, February 23rd, 2009

First of all, I'd like to thank those of you for your condolences that have shared this last week. We had a very trying week, and it was much appreciated, as well as needed. :)

Today in Science we began discussing Citric Acid. We created a Circle Map, where we brainstormed all of the "new things" that were learned today. After discussing this we made a Window Pane Foldable in which we discussed the "four" tastes and the areas in which we taste them. Our four tastes included, sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. We taste sweet tastes at the front tip of our tongue, salty tastes on the sides of the front of our tongue, sour tastes in the middle of each side of our tongue, and bitter tastes on the farthest back portion of our tongue. We also brainstormed examples of these tastes:

Sweet: Cake, cookies, sugar etc.
Salty: French Fries, chips, peanuts, pretzels etc.
Sour: Lemons, candy with citric acid :), etc.
Bitter: Dark Chocolate (some of us even new that it's called Special Dark and in a Green wrapper, thanks to Hershey's :P
