How can I use the scientific method to make cotton candy in a Science Fair?

We have a science fair coming up and we need to use the scientific method in our project. My group wanted to make cotton candy so it would be a popular project. Have any ideas how to make it and how we can use the scientific method as well? Thanks for all the answers!How can I use the scientific method to make cotton candy in a Science Fair?
The scientific method is a process for testing ideas:



1) Ask a question

2) Do background research

3) Create a hypothesis

4) Design an experiment to test the hypothesis

5) Analyze the data you've collected and draw a conclusion

6) Communicate your results.



What are you testing by creating cotton candy?



What you could do is you could test something using cotton candy. You could start by asking the question, "Does everyone like cotton candy?"



You could then do research on cotton candy, how the human tongue tastes things, and about why people have different opinions on the same things.



From your research, you could create a hypothesis. An example could be "If I increase the sugar content of cotton candy, more people will like it."



Then you design an experiment to test that hypothesis. How you do so is half the fun, so I'll leave that to you. Ask your teacher for help, but if you need more, visit sciencebuddies.org,



Remember- science isn't just memorizing definitions. It's about asking questions and using the scientific method to find answers. It's how we know so much about the world- everything from atoms to germs was figured out using the scientific method. It's a very powerful tool!How can I use the scientific method to make cotton candy in a Science Fair?
