• The purpose of this experiment was to see how much iron was in each brand of cereal.

• We think that the Rice Krispies will have more iron because we think that’s what makes them crispy.

• Mixer or Blender• Cereal ( , Captain Crunch, Co Co

Roos, Rice Krispies, and )• Magnet• Bowl• Spoon or utensil• Water• Napkin

Procedure

1. Add sufficient water to completely cover the cereal (There’s no exact measurement)

2. Mash the cereal with a spoon or mix it with the water using a blender. The more ground the cereal is, the easier it is to get the iron.

3. Stir the magnet through the crushed cereal. Iron will sink, so we had to pay attention to the bottom of the bowl. We used a blender and had to make sure to get the particles at the bottom of the jar.

4. Look for the black substance or iron on the magnet. It's easiest to see the iron if you wipe the iron on a white napkin or paper towel.

5. Pour the cereal into the bowl or blender.
