• IF YOU DON’T LIKE A FOOD AND IT TASTES BITTER, YOU CAN PUT SALT IN IT.
• TOO MUCH SALT IS BAD FOR YOU!
• I LEARNED IF YOU PUT ICE AND SALT IS YOUR HAND AND SQUEEZE IT, IT BURN YOUR HAND!

3. Hypothesis=     IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE FOOD THAT MUCH YOU CAN ADD A LITTLE SALT TO MAKE IT TASTE  A LITTLE BETTER!

5.  The first time it tasted bad, the second time it tasted like 7up and it tasted good, the last two times it tasted SO SO TERRIBLY BAD!!!

6.  I learned that we just like the taste of salt, and it helps make food taste better.  Too much salt doesn’t taste good.  I learned if you mix tonic water and two pinches of salt it taste like seven up.  Two pinches of salt made it taste good because if you don’t go overboard with it, salt makes things taste less bitter.
