Introduction
Cereal is most common breakfast choice for people who are going to work or school, because it's easy to make and have a lot of different flavor. However, do you know how much iron in your everyday cereal? We all know iron is a necessary thing for human body but too much iron will hurt our body. Therefore, this experiment will show you which kind of cereal will have too much iron in it and keep you eat more health.
Observation/Research
There are a lot of types of breakfast cereal in our live. Breakfast cereal provides many nutrients to us. Iron is one of the most important nutrients in the diet. Breakfast is considered to be

Hypothesis
Wheat cereal contents more iron.
Independent Variable: different type of breakfast cereal
Dependent Variable: Iron content of each Cereal
Control Group: otameal
Experimental: corn flakes, wheat flakes, Add fruit and nuts to the breakfast cereals
Constants: use same weight of cereal, use same amount of water, mix them separate but the same time
Materials: Four types of Cereals, strong magnet, plastic bags, scissors, large bowls, metric measuring cup with a spout, water
Procedure:
1.Pour the cereal into a plastic bag. (2/1 cup)
2.Fill the bag 3/4 full with water(let sit for at least 1 hour)
3.Place the magnet in your hand and put the bag on top.
4.Swish the bag around 15 seconds
5.Flip the bag so the magnet will be on top and you will see the iron inside the cereal.
Results: A table will be used to show the iron content data.
Group Tasks: Yuting will gather the materials, mix the cereal with water and type the report. Jocelyn typed the proposal and will do the experiment. Xiayi will record the data and support Yuting types the report. All will be there when the experiment is done, and we will complete the report
Materials: Observation 1; 1 cup of water, 2 cups of sugar, 1 glass jar, 1 wooden skewer, 1 plate and 2 clothespins. Observation 2; 1 cup of water, 3 cups of sugar, 1 glass jar, 1 wooden skewer, 1 plate, 5 drops of red food coloring, and one plate.
The reason I decided on doing this project is because the materials required are inexpensive and easily available at most grocery or dollar stores. Through this experiment, I can educate consumers on which brand pops up the most corn, therefore saving them money.
The materials used during the experiment included three plastic cups, three gummy bears, masking tape, marker, balance, calculator, tray, one plastic spoon, a measurement tray, and a ruler. The three plastic cups were used to hold the tap water, salt water, and sugar water. The masking tape and marker were used to label each cup with the
Because of women are busy with their career now, we need to produce new type of cereal for those have no time to eat breakfast at table but they can eat in the car. The new product will have milk package on the top and cereal on the bottom cup, they need to use straw to push down so the milk will fill in the bottom cereal, then people can enjoy their breakfast in the car. Meanwhile, we will put promotion in the cereal package for teenage to purchase. For instant, if you buy a box cereal, you will find one pin, this pin allow you download songs, and Hockey ticket coupon for the upcoming events, also scratch to win an Ipad orIPhone when you buy any Kellogg’s cereal.
Iron is one of the important minerals that is required for our bodies to function properly. Most of the iron in our body is found in the blood such as haemoglobin, approximately 60 -70% of the human body’s iron is found in the haemoglobin, a protein in the blood that transports oxygen. Iron is also present in muscle tissue and some enzymes. There are two types of iron in the body which are “Heme Iron” from animal products and “Non-Heme Iron” vegetables and
Repeat steps 4-21 using another food of choice instead of a nut or a marshmallow and record values in the column and record the type of food used.
What if there was unhealthy kids all over the world? Some kids don’t eat a nutritional breakfast everyday. Breakfast is really the most important meal of the day because your body needs energy after you wake up and it can improve your overall health.
Alternate Hypothesis: manufacturer claims that designed to add exactly 18 ounces of cereal to each box.
The measurement for the Chocolate covered peanuts is given in ounce already, 1.5 oz. So I didn’t have to do anything to this. The second item is a ratio of 1:8 Vanilla Yogurt covered peanuts to Chocolate covered peanuts. I turned the 1:8 ratio into fractions and then
On the bottom of the ad, it says that diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. By having this on their ad, Raisin Bran is claiming that their cereal is low in saturated fats and cholesterol, which in turn will help lower your risk of heart disease. The ad also says the cereal is ‘deliciously’ heart healthy, claiming that the cereal is extremely tasty.

THESIS STATEMENT: Breakfast is an essential part of your morning routine because it kickstarts your metabolism, helps you concentrate and perform better in class, and aids in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Eating breakfast helps you spread out your hunger and control your food intake throughout the day makes you the boss of how you eat the rest of the day.
Breakfast has long been perpetuated to be the most important meal of the day. It provides the necessary energy that one needs to perform during the day. Skipping breakfast can lead to exhaustion, extreme hunger, and lack of focus. The importance of breakfast cannot be overlooked, but the nutritional value of one’s morning meal is equally important.
Incident: During the construction of our group project, one of our team members, Kathleen, became frustrated. She was only focused on the beginning portion of the project, which caused her to neglect other segments that required attention. For example, she was fixated on the dominoes portion of the machine, and each time it had to reset the individual pieces each time the marble did not hit each unit properly. She was also irritated by the fact that the machine did not perform the same each time. Kathleen was under the assumption that the individual parts of the machine would not deteriorate due to the repeated force of testing the project each time. Nicole and Jia became aware of this issue and addressed it by looking at the problem from different perspectives and came up with possible alternatives to solve Kathleen’s segment of the project.
