2. Scientific Question
What solid will flow the most?

3. Background
I chose this topic because I thought it would be interesting to watch a solid flow. At first i thought the solids would be melted. I wanted a topic that had to do with physics.

4. Hypothesis
If I use candy then it will flow faster than the other materials.

5. Variables Independent: Type of material tested (M&M, Sand, Salt
Dependent: Flow Rate for materials
Constant: Same amount of material used, Same funnel, Same type of measurement (Flow Rate)

6. Procedure Cut hole in side of box to put in funnel Place funnel in box
Measure smallest and largest dimension of material
Measure 250 g of each material
Plug bottom of funnel and pour in material
Unplug funnel and measure how long it takes to release material
7.Repeat step 5 and 6 for other materials

7. Data

8. Conclusion
In this experiment I will investigate which material will flow the fastest. In this experiment I am testing to see what material would flow the fastest. In the experiment the Sand flowed the fastest at 8.45 seconds. The M&M’s flowed at and the Salt at My hypothesis says that the M&M’s will flow the fastest. My hypothesis wasn’t supported by the data.

9. Conclusion #2
I learned that solids flow differently than others. A problem I had was when the salt got stuck in the funnel. Something i would do to improve results would be to use a larger amount of materials and to use a larger funnel.
