Candy Science Experiment

Need: jelly beans - 2 each of the same flavor, paper towels, 5 small dixie cups, sheets of note paper, pens or pencils

Get one paper towel for the number of kids that are playing. On each towel, write the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Number each cup individually from 1 to 5. Give each child a note paper and pen.

Place a jelly bean above each number on each kid's towel.

In the cups, place the same flavors of jelly beans, but mix them up. Don't put the jelly beans in the cups in the same order as you placed them on the paper towels.

Have a sheet of paper visible to all the kids listing the 5 different flavors of jelly beans they will be eating.

Begin by having the kids eat the 1st jelly bean then write the flavor they think it is down on the note paper.

Continue until they have eaten and written down all 5 of the jelly beans.

Next you will have the kids taste the jelly beans in the cups. Each child will close her eyes.

Hand her a jelly bean from the first cup.

After she eats it, ask her what flavor she thinks it is and write this on her note paper for her.

The game continues until each child has eaten all 5 flavored jelly beans from the cup.

Usually what happens is - if you can't see what you're eating, you often get the flavor wrong!

See who got the most right! The winner gets a prize.
