 Scarlet Lab Report Erin Prester ,Molly Wilkinson, Katherine Inman, Charlotte Livesay 1. Problem- Which consumer product is most reliable? 2. Observation- Our product is goldfish. Goldfish is an orange color and has many different flavors. The flavor we are using is regular cheese. 3.Hypothesis- Group: Erin Prester, Charlotte Livesay, Molly Wilkinson, Katherine Inman- We think the Goldfish brand will taste better than the Target brand goldfish. We think that the name brand Goldfish will not crush as easily as the store brand. We think the Target brand will be healthier.

4. Test Hypothesis Materials- regular goldfish crackers, target brand goldfish crackers, napkins, 16 plastic bags, timer 1. Each member of the group gets a pair of gloves when they are eating the goldfish. 2. We each get four of each brand of Goldfish. 3.The control is the Target brand goldfish. The independent variable is the Target Brand. 4. We will have a blind taste test on the both of them and see which is more prefered. 5. Chew four goldfish at the same time for 10 seconds so you can get the taste of them. 6. Observe which one is more prefered. 7. Put 20 unbroken goldfish crackers in a plastic bag. 8. Each will shake a bag of each product with the same efficiency for 1 minute. 9. We will compare the bags and see if everyone has the same results. 10. We will compare the prices of each product. 11. Observe which one was more durable. 12. Give instructions to another team and have them do the experince in the same way.  5. Data-    6. Conclusion: Charlotte Livesay: After all the tests, our team has come up with a few conclusions. We tried each of the products and decided that the Goldfish brand tasted better. We read both boxes and the Target brand was more nutritious. Durability was a draw. Half of our group thought that the Goldfish brand was more durable, and the other half thought that the Target brand was more durable. After looking back at all that we did, I would buy the Goldfish brand not the Target brand. Katherine Inman- The target brand was healthier but they taste very good. Even though, the Target brand was healthier, the Goldfish tasted a lot better. Out of nine tests, only one person preferred the Target brand. The target brand held up better then the Goldfish when we shook a bag of them, for me. Some other people in my group found that the Goldfish held up better. If you are buying on or the other, I would buy the real Goldfish brand. Molly Wilkinson- The target brand was more durable. I think that when I shook it the goldfish was more crushed up. The target brand was healthier. I think that goldfish brand tasted better. I think overall you should buy the goldfish brand. My hypothesis was correct for the taste, but was incorrect for the durability. Erin Prester- The target brand was more nutritious than the goldfish brand. The goldfish brand was more durable than the target brand. I think that the goldfish brand tasted better than the target brand. The target brand was healthier that the Goldfish brand. Out of eight people seven preferred the Goldfish brand and one person thought that they we equal. Half of our group thought that the Goldfish brand was more durable. Analysis: If we were to do any of the tests again, we would do the durability test. I would do that one because half of us found that the Goldfish brand were more durable and the others found that the Target brand was more durable.
