Taste Kim's Game

Fill several numbered glasses with clear liquids. Some suggestions are as follows:

  • clear water
  • flat lemon-lime pop
  • salt water
  • sugar water
  • vinegar water
  • water with citrus juice added
  • water with baking soda added
  • flavoured carbonated waters

    Steps:
  • Provide the girls with cotton swabs (e.g. like Q-tips).
  • Have them dip a fresh swab into each solution and taste the swab (then they are not cross contaminating the solutions or passing germs to each other).
  • Have the girls write down what they think is in the solution and check against your master list to see how they did.
Follow this up with a discussion about how water can look clean and pure but really not be.

This can be used for a discussion on water pollution or on why we must used properly purified water when at camp.
