What You Need: Pancake mix (ingredients per the directions on the pancake mix package: milk or water and egg), a fying pan and stovetop
Use the scientific method to find the ratio of pancake mix to water that makes the fluffiest pancakes, or “pan clocks.” Follow along with Krissy and Lauren as they make observations; ask a question; form a hypothesis; design an experiment; collect data; analyze the results; and draw a conclusion. You can use the same method to investigate any questions you have at home!
