Scientific Method Research

1.Intro
Problem: I am a fast food company, Burger King, and I want car companies to pay me to place advertisements on my drive-thru food wrappers in Middletown. I want to show Ford that they can get the most return for their money.

Hypothesis: Mostly Ford made cars will go through because there is a Ford car dealership nearby

Prediction: If mostly Ford made cars go through the Burger King drive thru then Ford should advertise their services and products.

2.Materials and Methods
We will sit outside of Burger King and collect data on how many of each make of car go through the drive thru around lunchtime (10am-2pm). We will collect the data up to a count of 150 different cars.

3. Results



4. Discussion
Not as many Ford made cars went through the Burger King drive thru as I expected, I suggest that Chevy made cars advertise their products and services based on my results. Ford also had many of their cars go through the drive thru so they may also like to advertise on our food wrappers. The data of my experience could be altered if the experiment was done again on a different day or if they used multiple days to collect data. Variables that might change the data are different Burger kings they could use, different cities, and different times of the day.

Possible sources of error
Things that I could've done better on, or my sources of error are; only going at a certain time on one day, only using 161 cars for my data table, going through a single franchise of Burger King, only recording cars from the Burger King in Middletown, and not comparing the Burger King franchises.
