what kind of science fair project can i do with fast food?

Question

whats a good topic.

Answer 1

take the fast food, such as french fries, and moosh one fry onto some tan colored construction paper. The oil from the fires will create an irregularly shaped circle. Measure the diameter of the oil-circle and then take another sheet of the same paper put one drop on it. Take another sheet of paper and put two drops succinctly on it. Let stand over night. You'll then be able to show roughly how many drops of oil a single french fry has. You can do that with Buns, Meat, Peanut Butter( a small bit of PB), etc. This can then help you quantify how much FAT is in Fast Food( or rather, FAT FOOD)

Answer 2

Science fair is very visual. I would go to 3 fast food restaurants and take 3 menu items from each; each of the items must have similarities like Hamburger, Hot Dog, French Fries, another place roast beef, ham, and mashed potatoes similarities like that. Get nutrition chart/facts and find out ho much Fat, Proteins, and Carbohydrates, then graph each but for the model take clay red, for proteins, yellow for fat, and blue for Carbohydrates. Using ounces separate each category and then form a hamburger shape like a pie graph show the content for each item and at each restaurant.

40% Fat, 25% Protein, 35% Carbohydrates

1/4lb ponder 4 ounces
1.6 ounces of fat
1 once of Protein
1.4 ounces of Carbohydrates
Total 4 ounces

Hope it helps to early in the morning for me on a weekend.

Answer 3

Why dont you do a simple one like the amount of time it takes an all natural bread to get stale or get moldy as compared to a bread made with preservatives. Or check the actual cream content in the ice cream or shakes that fast food places serve. Get a shake from several fast food places and put them in glass jars, observe how long it takes them to separate and/or if they separate. If there is real cream there will be separation as it gets to room temperature or warmer.

Answer 4

Did you see the movie "Supersize Me"? He did an experiment at the end that you could do. He tested what happened to the fast food products as opposed to their "real" equivalent, ie. french fries vs. fried potatoes. Or a homemade burger vs a McDonalds burger.

Answer 5

Do a project like in "super size me" and figure out what's in the fast food and see how long it lasts.


Lots of Luck!!!

Answer 6

Do a project on how much fattening fast foods are? And how some are healthy?

Answer 7

i latterly judged a Jr. extreme technology honest. different honest initiatives were truly inventive. "They colour of cool"Can the colour of shingles impression the temperature of a house?

Answer 8

Get a McDonalds burger. Put it on a plate. Photograph it at regular intervals. Marvel at the effect of preservatives.

Answer 10

1) Test for bacteria
2) Test the calories that are actually in a portion you are served vs. the number of calories their nutrition information claims. This website shows how to test for caloric content: http://www.reachoutmichigan.org/funexperiments/quick/eric/calorie.html
