Salinity Tests






On Thursday we did an experiment in science to see if we could use our sense of taste to rate 4 solutions in order of salinity. Everyone used cotton swabs to dip in the solutions and taste on their tongues. Some students thought it was "gross!" but many were interested in trying to guess which solution was similar to the salinity of the ocean. They were surprised to learn that the ocean only has a salinity of about 3.5%
