Sixth graders have been learning the steps of the scientific method.  To demonstrate their understanding, they were given the problem of figuring out if more Kool-Aide spills if one pours it while sitting or standing.  They then developed a hypothesis and procedure to test out their problem. Once all of their data was obtained, they displayed it in a line graph and answered their conclusions.  Most found that it didn’t make a difference to pour while standing or sitting.
