Conclusion

Hypothesis:

T.K.’s Hypothesis:

My hypothesis was wrong because one of the girl groups didn’t share the treat. I thought that girls have stronger because they share things well. Over all of the groups, 7 groups shared the treats so I think the friendships at Chadwick are strong.

Angie’s Hypothesis:

My hypothesis was wrong, because one of the girl groups didn’t share their treat at all. I thought girls have stronger friendship because I am a girl and I know that girls like to share their snacks. Overall the seven groups shared their treats so I think that friendships in Chadwick are stronger than I thought.

What We Learned During the Science Project

T.K.:

I learned that boys and girls can fight sometimes about small problems, but on the other hand, both have strong friendships.

Angie:

I learned that boys aren’t careless about their friends, and also I learned that girls fight (have a conflict) about small problems that can happen often.
