Our ESL students
participated with more than 100 schools across the United States and
abroad counting froot loops. We were trying to determine which color
froot loop would be the most common. The hypothesis for the Froot
Loops to the Max project is that orange
froot loops are the most numerous. Our students divided the froot
loops by color, tallied the numbers, graphed the froot loops and then
recorded them on an online database to determine whether the hypothesis
was correct.
Here we are sorting
and counting the froot loops
We graphed our
results by hand
We used Microsoft
Excel to graph our results
"Did the color
orange come out on top?"
Our class counted
a total of 2,789 froot loops with the color orange
appearing most-571. Red came in second
with 493 and yellow
was close
behind with 478. We counted
435 blue and 390 green
loops. Purple
came in last with only 275 froot loops in the box. There were also
147 broken froot loops in our box.
