Science Fair Ideas!
1.For a green topic, I would pant two of the same plants with the same amount of water
and sunlight, but would have one pot with worms and the other without to see
which plant grows faster.
2. I would test to see if different colors of food affects the taste of it.
3. I would test to see if you could run faster with fast, slow, or no music. I would test this on boys and girls; also on adults and kids.

#1 Topic
One idea is if changing the color of a food affects the person’s taste buds and makes them think the food tastes a different flavor. I would set up a few foods and for each, dye them in different colors three times. I would have the testers’ taste them and they have to identify what food it is and flavor without knowing what it actually is. I think that the color does affect the way you taste it. To find out more about my topic, I would research on taste buds, the five senses, and the brain.
Color vs. Taste
This is a picture of three different colors of water. I would test to see if changing the color of water would affect someone's tast on it thinking it is a different flavor.
