Candy is Dandy!

Hypothesis:

- I believe that there will be a rather even distribution of the colors because they are packaged by machinery

- I believe that within the population who eat M&M’s there may be a favorite color however it will not be represented in the way it is packaged.

Findings:

- In the three bags of M&M’s that I had there were varying numbers in the color of the candies however the numbers were similar in each bag.

- No, not all the bags have the same number of candies however it was awfully close

- I saw similar trends in my peers findings

Reflection

I had never used a spread sheet before and found it to be very useful. I will be using this program in my classroom. Personally I may use to for grading or attendance. I may also be able to have my students use it to do a similar project to the one we have completed here, to keep track of their own grades or even to compare information. I feel that this program promotes most of the NETS standards including 1, 2, 3, and 5.
