• I learned that  when you put two pinches of salt it tastes like sprite.
• I learned that when you put salt in tonic water it fizzes.
• I learned that when you put 2 half teaspoons of salt it tastes bitter.

3.  Hypothesis:  Salt gives food flavor.

5.  At first it was ok.  Then we added two pinches of salt and it tasted like Sprite.  Last, we added two half teaspoons of salt and then it was really salty.  

6. My hypothesis was correct.  Salt gives food a different flavor.  Salt makes things taste less bitter as long as you don't add too much.
