Science Fair

My school has a sixth grade science fair, so of course I had to do it.  My experiment was based on popcorn.
What I did was I popped three brands of popcorn Orville Smart Pop, Pop Weaver, and Pop Secret.  Then I counted the popped and the unpopped kernels.  Next I  recorded the results in a pie and bar graph.  The winner was Pop Weaver( the least expensive), second was Pop Secret, last was Orville Smart Pop.  now you may think that was a piece of cake , and it was, but the hard part was the actual day of the science fair.
I had to repeat that whole process over and over again to about 500-800 kids!  A lot right.  It took about the whole day to get through it all.  After that my voice ached, my back hurt, and my bottom was sore.  I can defiantly can wait until the next fair.   Oh and I forgot I had tried to do another experiment, but it never worked.  Another thing there was only three more days left until the science fair.  So I had to come up with a whole other science fair project.  Idea..........................................POPCORN!

  1. Carli,

    I loved your Science Fair project. It was great!
    Some of the best projects however, are those that
    don't work. That's part of the scientific process,
    finding out what does and does not work.
    Congratulations. Now I won't depend on Orville anymore. Love. G.Blake
