Graphed Results

Conclusions  Our hypothesis was wrong because we said Prairie farms would win because it was the most expensive. Great value actually won and was the least expensive.  If we were to do this project again we would pick three different brands to test.

Acknowledgements  We would like to thank our Moms for buying the ice cream, Mrs. Ledbetter for helping us prepare the taste test, and Mrs. Stinebring and Miss Tackett for also helping to prepare everything.
