Testing Buttery Popcorn
What's The Problem?
Information and Research Stage
Our Hypothesis
The Materials Needed For Our Experiment
- 2 pairs of plastic gloves
- 2 bags of Orville, Act II, and Pop Weaver extra butter popcorn
- 300 2 oz plastic ketchup cups
- 1 heater/fridge
- 1 tri-fold
- 1 extension cord
- 2 microwaves
- 2 cork-boards
The Procedure
Step 2.) Two people from your group (in this case Raven and Emily) pop popcorn by ear 10 minutes before testing while the two other people from your group (Ben and Wesley) set up table
Step 3.) Put popcorn into fridge-one brand on each shelf
Step 4.) Wait for testers to arrive
Step 5.) As one person (Raven) informs the testers about our taste test, another person (Ben) takes out two to four pieces of popcorn of each brand and puts them in the correct order(in their cups) according to what the person reading the randomizer sheet (Wesley) says is the next combination.
Step 6.) Serve the testers and record their results on the randomizer sheet
Step 7.) Repeat steps 4-6 on each tester that comes
The Results
After conducting our experiment, our results were: Pop Weaver = 18/40 Act II = 10/40 Orville Redenbacher's = 12/40 (The results are also shown in the graph below)
