Lab #1 M&M
Problem/Question:
My question is how many M&M’s are in the blue bag (pretzels) and how many M&M’s are in the brown bag (milk chocolate).
Hypothesis:
I predict that there are more M&M’s in the brown bag than in the blue bag because in the brown bag the M&M’s are much more small and will probably have double the M&M’s than in the blue bag.
Materials:
1. I pk. Of the milk chocolate M&M’s
2. I Pk. Of the pretzels M&M’s
3. Pencils
4. Notebook
Procedure:
1. You have the think of a question/problem then write it on your M&M group activity paper.
2. Then think of a hypothesis / predict how many M&M’s you think are in the blue bag and how many M&M’s are in the brown bag
3. When you’re done open the blue and brown bag and count how many M&M’s are in them. Then record your data on a piece of paper.
4. After you finish counting you check to see if you’re hypothesis is correct.
5. Lastly, when you finish all these steps you can eat your M&M’s
Results (data):
Group # 2b | Total # of M&M’s | # of green M&M’s | #of brown M&M’s | #of Yellow M&M’s | #of orange M&M’s | # of blue M&M’s | # of red M&M’s |
Milk M&M’s | 17 | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
Pretzels M&M’s | 5 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
Conclusion:
My hypothesis is right there were more M&M’s in the brown bag than they are in the blue bag because the brown M&M’s are smaller than the blue M&M’s
