SCIENCE FAIR - Room 14 'FULL OF BEANS'

Room 14 embarked on a rather interesting science investigation in preparation for the school's Science Fair.
We wanted to find out.... 'Which beans create the most gas!?'

We had 4 test groups. Group 1 ate Cannellinni Beans, group 2 ate Baked Beans and group 3 ate Butter Beans.
We had one control group that ate no beans.
We tested over 2 days. Each child involved had to eat the same food for breakfast and brain food breaks.
They had to avoid gassy foods for lunch and dinner. We recorded our 'flatulence' (farts) on a fart chart from after we had eaten our ladle full of beans right through till 7pm each night.
Our results were astounding! Cannellinni Beans were the gasiest bean!
We thought Baked Beans would be the most gas causing bean!
You know what they say..... 'Baked Beans are good for the heart, Baked Beans make you fart!'
'Baked beans make you fart, Baked Beans are good for the heart, the more you fart, the better you feel, so eat Baked Beans for every meal!'

We learnt about the process of a scientific investigation and had fun!
We have even been picked to compete in the regional science fair in September!

Feeding time at the zoo!

Yum yum! Christopher enjoys his share of beans!


Our completed exhibit. Phew!


What is in Beans that make you fart??
Sam & Laycee did some research and discovered that Beans contain a type of sugar called 'Oligosaccharides'
Our bodies are unable to digest these sugars! so.... the Bacteria in our intestines have a good feast on these sugars. When they do, gas is created and ofcourse gas has to escape in the only way we know how!   Farting!
We are so clever!

  3. A great example of learning by doing (farts!). I hope it was a 'gas' guys. Look forward to your 'results' 'exploding' onto the Nelson science scene. Proud of you all.

  9. Мonday night іѕ pizza nіght at ouг housе, with Mοm's homemade vegetable pizza at the top of the list of favorites. From there we moved on to dinner, a staggering spread of mouth-watering options prepared for us by local restaurant legend 5 & 10. I tried dozens of different recipes for pizza crust, and none of them were satisfactory.
