Taste and kitchen tricks
স্বাদ ও কৌশল
The molecules of sour, sweet, salty and bitter (tamarind, lime, vinegar, sugar, salt and tea), plus two tricks you can see and smell: turmeric and fish. Every name is in Bangla and English. Pick the style you like best: cards, a periodic table of the kitchen, or a menu.

Pick a style, then the edition for your printer
Cards style. A big card for each molecule.
Black and white edition
Made for black-and-white printers. Patterns replace the colours, so every family is still easy to tell apart.
Periodic table style. Big tiles and big names, like an element chart.

Print at A3 or larger. A2 is best for a classroom wall. On A4 the small text becomes too small to read comfortably.

Make it yours
Put your name on it
The poster has a plate that says This poster belongs to. Type your name and we write it on the line for you. It all happens on your own device, so your name is never sent to us.
Sign in and we will fill in your name for you.
Prefer a pen? Download the plain poster above and write on the line. Bangla names work too, if your device has a Bangla font (most phones do).
Printing tips
Get a good print without spending much
Choose the size
A3 is the design size, and A2 is best for a wall. Most print shops can do both. Choose "Actual size" or "Fit to page" in the print settings.
Save ink
The page is white and the header is pale, so even the colour edition uses little ink. On a black-and-white printer, use the black-and-white edition.
Print one test
Screens and printers show colours differently. Print one copy first and hold it at arm's length. It should be easy to read.
In the classroom
Four ways to use it
Taste map. Sort what you eat in a day into sour, sweet, salty and bitter. Which molecule is behind each one?
Two experiments. Try the turmeric-and-soap test and the tea-and-lime test from the bottom of the poster, with an adult. What do they say about acids and alkalis?
Spot the groups. Tamarind, lime and vinegar are all carboxylic acids. Compare with the Functional groups poster, and with the pH chart when it arrives.
Collect the set. This is part 3 of 3. See the heat poster and the aroma poster too.
Free to print and use in classrooms, labs and reading rooms, with Chem2Cure credited. Please do not sell it. Check the facts against your textbook.
