Ms. Crawford has observed that her
science classes like to chew a variety of
things during class.
 Candy
 Gum
 Pencils
Although this against the rules in my class. I have
developed a question or problem statement
based on this observation. What could it be?

How many chews does it take to finish a
Tootsie Roll? What could my hypothesis
be?
