Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hey, so I'm doing the project "The Electrolyte Challenge." I've gotten my results, but I have no clue if they are correct.

Orange Juice: 41.00 - 38.8 mA
Smart Water: 0.95 mA
Vitamin Water: 4.32 - 4.75 mA
Gatorade: 27.9 - 28.3 mA
Distilled Water: 0.25 mA
Rockstar Energy Drink: 9.14-9.30 mA
Pepsi: 7.4 - 13.21 mA

I added SmartWater because its supposed to include more electrolytes than regular water. I also tried VitaminWater, Pepsi, and Rockstar for added results.
Could you let me know if my results seem correct? Is the unit of mA good to use for my results? Should I not include some of the drinks i did include?

Also, I'll be explaining that to make orange juice a better "energy" drink is by diluting it a little with water and adding a pinch of salt.

My Project is due tomorrow, so please help me

Hi,

Here is a Science Buddies Project Writeup on your topic:

Your results seems reasonable to me, and in any event they are the results you got, so they are what you should report. Note that the experiment writeup suggests reporting conductance results in siemens (current in amps divided by voltage in volts).

Good luck at the science fair!
