I had two students who became rather bored while waiting for the judging of the science fair. During this time they decided to use the time to create and do another one.
Title -- Tootsie Pops! Takin' a lickin'
Hypothesis -- We presumed that the time taken to reach the center of a tootsie pop would be 1 hour.
Experiment: We (Matthew and Jordan) each took a standard build tootsie pop, and commenced the licking process. Patrick acted as teh lick tallier. WE synchromized our licks, and licked our tootsie centers out.
Reality: It took 550 licks to reach the center of a tootsie pop
Paper...
As we watched the other science fair projects commence, the question popped into our heads...."Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop?".
'How many licks indeed?' We asked. And so we were off! ....
End....
It was a long, hard, and tiring process; but after about fifteen minutes, we struck the El Dorado that we had been searching for...550 licks it took, but we hit not the Ag treasure that the Spanish Conquistadors quested for, but that of a tootsie roll. We had succeeded, and determined that, Mr Owl, it indeed takes 550 licks to reach the Tootsie Roll center.
