Mrs. Bevans’s 6th grade scientists are solving the problem “Which Candy Bar Satisfies Your Hunger?!”Students had to calculate the mass, volume and density of a Milky Way and a 3 Musketeer candy bar. They then had to test if the candy bar would float or sink in water based off of their densities. Results: Milky Way is more satisfying because it is more dense with a caramel filling! 😄 #MaroonPride
