INTRODUCTION

• My experiment is taking four different kinds of
  milk and adding one drop of vegetable oil and
  three drops food coloring to the top. Then, I
  just recorded my data.
• I got the idea for my project from the Internet.
• I hypothesized that milk that contained more fat
  would create swirls that with less fat.
• I chose this experiment because it would be an
  interesting thing to find out.

Background Information
Before the experiment I collected the information
I needed to do the experiment. During the
experiment I read a summary of what was supposed
to happen according to someone else. After the
experiment I read the labels of all the things
that I used to find out the ingredients. To see
them, click here.

Step-by-Step Procedure 1.) Get out all of your
materials so they are ready to use. 2.) Line up
your four glasses 3.) Pour one cup of each milk
type into its own glass. 4.) Add 3 of food
coloring and 1/4 tsp. vegetable oil to the milk
about one cm away from each other. 5.) Make sure
you remember which glass is which. 6.) Now,
record every 5 minutes and at 1/2 and 1 hour.

Data Analysis

• I basically got the results that I expected.
• So, my hypothesis was pretty much right.
• If I were to do it again, however, I would make a
  better hypothesis that used more theories or
  values.
• Also, I would broaden the area of research.

Conclusion
Here is a summary of my results. First, I got my
idea off of the Internet. Then, I made a
hypothesis that milk with the most fat would have
the most swirls. After my hypothesis, I
researched and found my background information.
Next, I conducted my experiment. The results
were as follows 1.) Whole and 2 tied for the
most swirls. 2.) 1 came in next. 3.) Skim came
in last.
