12. Today we will taste test orange juice. We will make many recipes and decide if the taste has changed.

13. If the orange taste is stronger in the new recipe than the original, then you will say that the new recipe is “less watery.”

14. If the orange taste is not as strong in the new recipe than the original, then you will say that the new recipe is “more watery.”
