How many licks does it take to get to the center?

This lesson will have students collect data through an investigative manner and compile them into a larger spreadsheet. From there students will create different data displays and do a compare and contrast of the data sets to determine "Which one do you think takes the fewest amount of licks to get to the center: a Tootsie Pop, a Blow Pop, or a Dum Dum lollipop?"
