Why are multiple trials important to the scientific method?
Scientific Method: M&Ms Activity
Name:
3 small bags of M&Ms or Skittles (or something like this with different colors)
Before conducting the experiment define the steps of the scientific method: Before opening the bag write your hypothesis for the following questions: How many M&Ms in total will be in your bag?
How many of each color will be in each bag?
Describe each step taken via the scientific method.
Attach a picture of your experiment in the document that you submit. On average how many M&Ms were in your bags?
What do your results reflect in regard to variation?
