General Science: Which chip is the greasiest?

This week in science we asked the following questions: which brand of potato chip is the greasiest and more importantly, how can I be sure?

We went about answering them by carrying out 3 tests. The first 2 were a touch and a taste test in which the kids rated the chips on a scale from 1-5, with 5 being the greasiest. Then the kids were challenged to come up with a more quantitative test, one based on measurement. Some kids crushed equal amounts of each chip on a piece of graph paper and then compared the sizes of the different oil stains. Others compared the weight of the chips before and after crushing; the assumption being, the greasier the chip, the more oil lost in the act of being crushed on a piece of paper. Another test consisted of soaking different chips in water, removing them, and then comparing the amount of oil observed sitting on top of the water.
