Eamon Pigeon of Don Christian Elementary in Cloverdale poses a colourful scientific question.

Eamon Pigeon, a Grade 7 student at Cloverdale's Don Christian Elementary, was one of 260 students at last night's district science fair.

He looked at whether the colour of a liquid can influence its taste, so he blindfolded his subjects and had them taste liquids of various colours.

His conclusion? Yes, colour does influence taste.

More than 150 gold ribbons were handed out at the 2013 Surrey School District Science Fair, held at Central City.
