I will pass out 3 boxes of cereals and a poster board to each group of students and tell them to find the salt, fat, and sugar within each box of cereal. Once the students have collected the data, they will then have to utelize their poster board by constructing a graph that displays their data.

40% for collecting accurate data.
40% for constructing a nice graph
