Science Experiment

Our Question:  Which kind of chocolate (milk or dark) will melt in our hands the fastest?

Our Hypothesis:  We think milk chocolate will melt the fastest because most of us have eaten milk chocolate and had it melt on our fingers before.

Our Materials:  dark chocolate, milk chocolate, hands, 2 different colored sticky notes

Our Procedure: 
1. Make a circle on the carpet.
2. Pass out the pink & yellow sticky notes.
3. Passs out the milk and dark chocolate.
4. The chocolate piece goes in your hands.
5. We wait for 1 minute.
6.  We look at our hands to see which one melted the fastest.

 Milk Chocolate Mess!

  Milk Chocolate Mess!

Our Conclusion:  Milk chocolate melts faster than dark chocolate in our hands!
