Science Fair results

Post by deleted-674041 »

We've been doing the Magnificent Cereal experiment. A total of 4 different cereals at 90%, 45%, and two 25% daily value were used. Results were consistently seen (very cool!) On all cereals except the one claiming 45% daily value. This cereal never produced any visible iron. We did this experiment four times. How do we go about these results?

Hi kcounce,

I'm assuming that you're working on the project described here:

https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ast-cereal

Based on the results you described, I'd say that something about the 45% cereal may have interfered with the test procedure. You might want to try another brand or type of cereal with similar iron content.

I hope this helps. Please ask again if you have more questions.
