Skittles and M&M's

In this lab, students used the scientific method to form a hypothesis about the dominant color in bags of skittles or m&m's. There were parts of the lab that the students completed individually (for the purpose of individual data and the allowance of them eating their candy) and the final lab involved them sharing and comparing their data to make new data. Students completed their graph, accepted or rejected their hypothesis then formed a theory about the dominant candy color. Mathematics skills were also used in this lab as the students had to graphically depict their bag results.
