What Gender Can Tell The Difference Between Coke Products Better?
Tessa Nelson9th GradeBellwood Antis High School
Sense of TasteGirls & boys have same # of taste buds but girls have a higher sensitivity level
Boys need an average of 10% more sourness and 20% more sweetness.
The Sweetness is what I’m testing.
Girls do have a better sense of taste then boys.
HypothesisGirls will be able to tell the difference between
the variety of Coke products better.
Six Dixie cups, filled with 40 milliliters of the Coke products, and one with water
The blindfolded subjects come in and drink the soda one by one, drinking the water after each.
They were told what choices they could chose from.
They told us their answers after each drink.
Summary
Experimental Variable and Experimental Group
Experimental variable genders.
Experimental group Boys and Girls.
Control Groupwater
Control VariablesCoke Products
To prevent certain factors from interfering with my experiment I controlled the following variables.
1. Quantity of Coke in the Dixie cups.
2. Expiration Date on Coke Bottle.
3. Same Temperature
4. Same Volume
5. Purchased on same day
Control VariablesTesting Environment
To prevent certain factors from interfering with my experiment I controlled the following variables.
1. Consistent room temperature. (22˚C)
2. Time of day.
3. Time of year.
Control VariablesTesting Subjects
To prevent certain factors from interfering with my experiment I controlled the following variables.
1. Ages 15-17
2. None had eaten lunch yet
Experimental Procedure
Step 1Fill the Dixie Cups up
to 40 milliliters with the 6 different Coke products and water.
Step 2Label the cups,
Sample A (my control group), Sample B, and
so forth.
Step 3Blind fold the subjects in the school’s hall.
Step 4They will then be told
their choices.
Step 5Bring the subjects in
one at a time, in the pattern of Boy, Girl,
Boy, Girl.
Step 6Set the students in the same seat when
they come in.
Step 7The different
samples will then be placed in front of
them.
Step 8
Have them drink the samples one at a time.
Step 9After each sample, have them drink 40 milliliters of
water.
Step 10
After each sample, record their guesses.
Step 11When the subjects exit the room, monitor
them to make sure they do not
communicate.
Step 12Calculate the
average percentage correct for the male
and female’s answers.

ConclusionMy data does not support my hypothesis.
Therefore I reject my hypothesis; Girls can not tell the difference between coke
products better than boys.
If I were to do this
again..Other
drinking products.
