Tootsie Roll Lab

In Ms. Crawford's science class, students frequently chew on various items, prompting an intriguing observation: How many chews does it take to finish a Tootsie Roll? This experiment aims to form a problem statement based on this observation. The hypothesis is that it will take about 50 chews to finish the candy. With simple materials like Tootsie Rolls, science notebooks, and pencils, students will conduct the experiment by chewing and counting each chew. Data will be recorded to analyze results, reinforcing the scientific method steps.

  1. Tootsie Roll Lab Understanding the Scientific Method

  2. First Step Make Observations to formulate a Problem statement • Ms. Crawford has observed that her science classes like to chew a variety of things during class. • Candy • Gum • Pencils Although this against the rules in my class. I have developed a question or problem statement based on this observation. What could it be?

  3. My Problem Statement? • How many chews does it take to finish a Tootsie Roll? What could my hypothesis be?

  4. My Hypothesis……… If Ms. Crawford’s students eat a tootsie roll in science call then I think it will take them 50 chews to finish the tootsie roll.

  5. Materials Needed???? • Tootsie Roll • Student • Science Notebook • Pencil

  6. Procedures • Get Tootsie Roll • Remove wrapper • Place candy in mouth • Chew candy until finished making sure to count each chew.

  7. Don’t forget the Data!!! • Record the number of chews it took to completely finish the Tootsie Roll…. • It took ________chews to finish my tootsie roll. • How can we represent this data?

  8. Lets Review the Scientific Method. • Problem • Hypothesis • Experiment • Independent variable: The rate I chew the tootsie roll (fast/slow) • Dependent: The number of chews to finish • Constant: Tootsie Roll Data Conclusion
