Students in Ms. Debell's 8th Grade Science classes completed an experiment to see if they are "supertasters". Students tested their taste buds to determine if they have extra sensitive taste buds or just normally sensitive ones. Using a participant strip, students recorded what they tasted and used this to determine their genotype.
