Science Fair Projects


Em and Ray entered the science fair with projects about things they liked. Ray's was counting the different colors in fun size m&m bags to see which color came up the most. Any guesses as to which one won? She hypothesized orange would win. Was her hypothesis correct?

Em measured grease in different potato chips. She hypothesized Ruffles had the most grease. She also tested Lay's, Pringles, Corozano's, and Tim's. Was her hypothesis correct? We crushed potato chips on graph paper, then counted the number of squares filled in by grease. A good project if you'd like to be turned off from eating potato chips!

I think they learned a lot and so did I.

Good thinking picking science fair projects that require yummy foods to munch on. I would guess brown for the m&ms and pringles for the chips.

I'm going to hypothesize that red had the most turn up and I agree about Ruffles. I can hardly wait to see if I'm right.

I am going with brown m&m's as well. I think the lays have the most (I just finished a bag myself). They look so happy and proud of their projects.
