Jellybeans

What color of jellybean do you find
most often in packages of jellybeans?

That was our main question for this yummy project.
 

 We set out to find how many
red, orange, yellow, green,
 purple, black, white and pink jellybeans we would find in each package.

We were divided into four groups and each group received one bag of jellybeans.
Below you will see our findings.

The children had a great time counting, graphing, and working as

a team in seeing which color came up most often.  Oh,--yes

they were yummy to eat!  We each took a bag home.

Our conclusion was that there are more yellow jelly beans in a

package and fewer green. We sampled the flavors and the least

favorite flavor is black.
