BRAIN FREEZE LAB

MATERIALS

• A Slurpee™ from 711
• A Slurpee™ from Speedway
• A scale
• A thermometer
• A stopwatch

PREDICTION

• A Slurpee from 711 will give you a brain freeze quicker than a Slurpee from Speedway.

How long will it take to get a brain freeze from both Slurpees?

OUR VARIABLES

• Independent variable-Time
• Dependent- Amount of Slurpee

PROCEDURE

• Weigh Slurpee
• Take the temperature
• Start experiment by starting a timer and taking large gulps until we get a brain freeze
• Then we record how long it took.

DATA

• 711 Slurpees(2): 27°F
• Speedway slurpees(2): 24°F
• Each Sip was approx. 15g

SLURPEE LAB DATA

OUR RESULTS

• The Slurpees from 711 took us about 12.5 seconds to feel a brain freeze
• The Slurpees from speedway took us about 9 seconds

CONCLUSION

• How fast can you get a brain freeze from a Slurpee from 711 and speedway? From the data we collected, a Slurpee from Speedway gave us a brain freeze quicker than one from 711.
• An average time of 12.5 seconds was the time it took to get a Brain freeze from 711, while a Slurpee from speedway only took 9 seconds.
