Weight and Number of Raisins per Ounce in a Box of Cereal

Overview

Objectives/Goals I wanted to find out how many raisins are contained in either, Vons Raisin Bran,Total Raisin Bran, Post Raisin Bran, Oatmeal Crisp Raisin Bran, Safeway Select Raisin Bran, and Kellogg's Raisin Bran. Methods/Materials First, I obtained all of my materials,which included: six different boxes of cereals, scale,and bowl. Then, I set up all the boxes,I opened all the boxes,and then I opened the packages. I placed the cereal into a bowl, then I removed all the raisins. I repeated this step for all boxes. Finally, I divided the total number of raisins by the total number of ounces, then I weighed to find the number of raisin per ounce. Results I found out that Total had the most number of raisins, Vons came in second, Safeway Select came in third, Post came in fourth, Kellogg's came in fifth,and Oatmeal Crisp came in sixth. Conclusions/Discussion As my hypothesis I thought that Post would come in first, because it had the most fiber, potassium, and iron. As listed above from the results my hypothesis was incorrect, because Total came in first and Post came in fourth.
