LOLLIE-POP CRUNCH! By Sonja and Sienna
Hypothesis: • Our hypothesis was that it would take around 4 to 5 turns in the vice before the lollie-pop would crack..
How many turns in a vice do you think a lollipop could handle? Aim: To test how many turns in a vice a lollipop could handle.
Apparatus: • You will need: • 3 different brands of lollipop • 1 similar sized lolly(as your control) • A vice • Scissors Different types of lollipop Chupachup (control)
Time allowance: 45 minutes max. Method: • Set up your vice by attaching it to a bench or table. • Cut the stick off your lollipop and unwrap it. • Place your control (something of a similar size) into the vice and close it enough so it is stable but doesn’t have pressure put on it. • Now gently start to turn the handle and make sure to count how many full turns it can take. • It will eventually crack and make a mess. • Record your data in a table and repeat the steps with your other chosen lollies. • Look at the change in your records and test your hypothesis. • Write a conclusion on what happens.
Risk Assessment: Sticky business! BE CAREFUL! • There aren’t many things that can go wrong in this experiment but make sure you were glasses so you don’t get lollipop in your eyes. • Also be careful with the vice, they are heavy and will hurt your feet if it falls on them. • Also you may want to wear your lab coat because it gets stickyand it is messy.
Our results! This is a table of our results, as you can tell our estimates weren’t too good, but we got the data and put it in a table. Our hypothesis was UNPROVEN!

Conclusion: • This experiment was very fun and sticky! • Our hypothesis was 100 % wrong but we enjoyed finding this out.. • None of the lollipops took more than 2 turns in the vice. • Improvement: We could have used a different vice that was attached to the bench as the one we used we had to hold down with our hands. • We could have changed one of the lollipops to a gobstopperor used another brand of lollipop.
