Problem: Can you identify Sierra Mist from another lemon-lime soda?
Hypothesis: They will be able to tell the difference between Sierra Mist and another lemon-lime soda.
Materials: 16 Students
5 cans of Sierra Mist
5 cans of Mountain Dew
32 foam cups
Food Coloring
Permanent Marker
Procedure: 1) Label Styrofoam cups “cup A” and “cup B”.
2) Open cans
3) Pour 4 0z.of Mountain Dew in all B cups.
4) Pour four oz. of Sierra Mist in all A cups.
5) Pick out 16 random students.
6) Pass out a “cup A” and a “cup B” to each of the 16 students.
7) Have the first half of students taste cup A then cup B.
8) Have the second half of students taste cup B then cup A.
9) Record the student’s choice of cup selection.
10) Collect cups and analyze data.
Results:
Students Cup A Cup B
#1 yes
#2 yes
#3 yes
#4 yes
#5 yes
#6 yes
#7 yes
#8 yes
#9 yes
#10 yes
#11 yes
#12 yes
#13 yes
#14 yes
#15 yes
#16 yes
Conclusion: Our results do prove that our hypothesis was correct. More students were able to identify Sierra Mist from Mountain Dew. 56 percent of the students said cup A was Sierra Mist and 43 percent of the students said that cup B was Sierra Mist. To make our experiment more reliable next time, we could get drinks that have the same color so we wouldn’t have to put food coloring in it. In addition, we could be more exact when pouring the liquid in the cups.
