Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I have a question about a science project i'm working on that I chose from this website. For " Lactose,Sucrose, and Glucose: How Many Sugars are in Your Smoothie?" I'm having troubles creating a table for this project. I've read everything that i'm suppose to experiment on however, i'm having troubles creating a table. How can I create a table about smoothies?

Hi BreannaSpinner_,

Good question. Here's what I would suggest:

First, make a table that has 10 columns and enough rows so that each of the ingredients you test has its own row, plus one more row for the columns labels

Use the first row of the table to table the columns.
Column 1 = Ingredient Name
Column 2 = Trial #1 glucose reading before adding enzymes
Column 3 = Trial #1 glucose reading after adding invertase
Column 4 = Trial #1 glucose reading after adding lactase
Column 5 = Trial #2 glucose reading before adding enzymes
Column 6 = Trial #2 glucose reading after adding invertase
Column 7 = Trial #2 glucose reading after adding lactase
Column 8 = Trial #3 glucose reading before adding enzymes
Column 9 = Trial #3 glucose reading after adding invertase
Column 10 = Trial #3 glucose reading after adding lactase

Next, fill in the rest of the first column with the name of each ingredient you tested. Then, fill in the cells in the columns 2 through 10 with the measurements that you made.

I hope this helps you. Post back if you have other questions.
