This lesson was very fun for my students, despite the fact that we had to go outside to eat the M&Ms (very strict Lab Safety Rules in my classroom). The students were especially interested in the fact that I shared with them about how there weren't always blue M&Ms. There are cute videos on YouTube with the ads from TV back then! We were able to finish the lesson with the optional pizza intro in two 45 minute class periods. The class that chose to sample 20 M&Ms per group came much closer to the actual values than the class that sampled only 10 M&Ms.
