Materials List: A Tasty Experiment

  • yogurt or pudding, 4 different flavors, 8 to 12 ounces each (use the larger amount for class sizes greater than 24); if using yogurt, choose types that are "blended" and do not contain fruitbits that might provide textural clues; it is not necessary to have all four flavors be either all yogurt or all pudding; for example, it is fine to have two different flavors of yogurt and two different flavors of pudding; see the Safety Issues section for food allergy considerations
  • 4 cup or bowls, each capable of holding at least 8 ounces
  • ~100 plastic spoons
  • 4 watches with second hands
  • 4 cardboard shoe boxes or similarly sized boxes with no lids
  • 4 towels, t-shirts or fabric pieces that are just large enough to drape over the boxes
  • 4 trash receptacles
  • Tasty Experiment Datasheet, four per group (one for each of the four stations)
