Crayola or

Rose Art

By: Lindsey Klein

Introduction

• Have you ever heard of Rose Art and Crayola? Well they each have Colored Pencils and Crayons. I am testing to see what brand you are able to read better, or what brand stands out more.

Problem

• People write in different ways, so the way they write might change how it looks.

• Some people push down harder than others, so it could show up different than the other peoples.

• Which brand is easier to read?

Materials

• Paper • Colored Pencils• Crayons • 3 Girls • 3 Boys• Pencil

Hypothesis

• I predict that the Crayola will show up better than the Rose Art will. I say that because the Rose Art brand is cheaper than Crayola. Most people say that they would rather use crayola. In Grade School all the teachers used crayola. I think that they are better.

Procedure

• First I’m going to give six people a piece of paper.

• Then I’m going to give one person the same color from each package.

• Next I will have them write the same thing with each color.

• I will do that with each person. • Last I will collect all the papers and

compare which ones appear to show up better.

Background Information

• Most people would rather have Crayola instead of rose art even though it costs more. They work a lot better than the Rose Art works.

• Crayons and color pencils have been used for years and they will probably continue to be used.

Variables

• Controlled- The same brand remained to show up the best on all the papers.

• Independent- I’m testing the differences in Crayola, and Rose Art colored pencils, and crayons.

• Dependent- My final results are that my predictions were right all along and the testing was just how I planed it to be.

Acknowledgement

• Breckyn helped me do the testing.

Results

• So far in what I have done my results are showing that the Crayola appear to be better. When I got all of my testing done I found out that my Hypothesis was correct about that Crayola was the one that showed up the best.

Conclusion

• With my project I found out that the Crayola and colored pencils/crayons appear to work better.

Possible Causes of Error

• Possible causes of error are if people push down to hard while writing, that color might show up better than what people that don’t push as hard shows up.

• The way that people write, if they use the tip of the crayons or colored or the side of them.

Possible Application

• This project could help out the teachers, by telling them what crayons work better, so they know what to buy for their class.

• It could help kids out because they would be able to see the color of the Crayola better than the Rose Art.
