Question.3472 - Instructions Using the scientific method, you are going to investigate a hypothesis about food quality. You must document each step of the scientific method. First choose a not-homemade food product that you think that you can distinguish a quality of in a blind taste test. You are going to make a comparison between two or more food items and determine if you can distinguish them apart from one another. This could be a comparison between two different brand products like Coke® and Pepsi® or between a store brand and a name brand (Ex: Oreos® and the generic store sandwich cookie). You could also test if you can tell a flavor difference between items of the same product like is there a flavor difference between the different colors of Skittles® or Froot Loops®. You decide what you want to test, but you will need to consume it as part of your assignment. If you have any problems finding something to test for this assignment, please contact the instructor. This assignment is NOT meant to be a test to see which item is better. That is an opinion question. Please develop a testable theory and hypothesis. Step 1. Develop a theory about the quality of the food you are testing. State this like a scientist, in a matter-of-fact way (e.g. “There is detectable difference between...”). Step 2. What is the hypothesis? Make sure that this is written specifically to reflect how you’re testing the theory (e.g. “I predict that ... when I ...[state the basic design of your experiment].” Step 3. How will you test this hypothesis? Step 4. Test, record, & summarize your data. Step 5. What conclusions can you draw from your data? Step 6. Taking your conclusions into account, if you were to continue doing research on the taste of this food, what would your next hypothesis be?
