Yesterday we talked you through the jellybean illusion. You probably experienced a couple of things, let's see if you agree with the following... At STEP 3, while chewing with nose pinched, what did you taste? Probably just some sweet, maybe a bit of sourness, right?
And you probably could not identify any specific flavor, correct?

Time for the jellybean illusion! You don’t actually need a jellybean, just some type of chewable candy, preferably with different colors & flavors. M&M’s: NOT be a good choice, gold bears: fine.

#teaching #classroom #Scichat #STEMeducation #illusion #perception #scicomm Get comfy, get your candy out, and choose two pieces of different colors/flavors. Pick up one of those two, it doesn’t matter which.
