Project Title: Weight and Number of Raisins per Ounce in a Box of Cereal
Objectives/Goals
I wanted to find out how many raisins are contained in either, Vons Raisin
Bran,Total Raisin Bran, Post
Raisin Bran, Oatmeal Crisp Raisin Bran, Safeway Select Raisin Bran, and
Kellogg's Raisin Bran.
Methods/Materials
First, I obtained all of my materials,which included: six different boxes of
cereals, scale,and bowl. Then, I
set up all the boxes,I opened all the boxes,and then I opened the packages. I
placed the cereal into a bowl,
then I removed all the raisins. I repeated this step for all boxes. Finally, I
divided the total number of
raisins by the total number of ounces, then I weighed to find the number of
raisin per ounce.
Results
I found out that Total had the most number of raisins, Vons came in second,
Safeway Select came in third,
Post came in fourth, Kellogg's came in fifth,and Oatmeal Crisp came in sixth.
Conclusions/Discussion
As my hypothesis I thought that Post would come in first, because it had the
most fiber, potassium, and
iron. As listed above from the results my hypothesis was incorrect, because
Total came in first and Post
came in fourth.
Summary Statement
How many raisins are contained in different boxes of raisin bran cereals.
