The simplest conclusion drawn during this experiment was that spaghetti was, undoubtedly, one of the messiest foods one could use in a food fight. The conclusion to this website, however, and to this experience in itself is something a little more interesting and complex.

Honestly, I would be lying if I said chemistry is my favorite class. However, I must give kudos where kudos is due because if it weren't for the pair of goggles I had to wear during chemistry class, I never would have thought of the premise of my website. My first thought had been to make a website talking about some of my favorite baked goods. It would have been easy; it wouldn't have been messy. But I wanted to do something big. I wanted to do something different. And I wanted to do something I could relate to. So my idea was born: combine my knowledge of formal research with food. And make a mess, while I'm at it.

Creating the website has been a wonderful experience. Granted, there have been some ups and downs, but what learning experience doesn't have those? Most of the ups and downs didn't really come from the creation of the website itself, but in the process of getting my pictures. In hindsight, I should have started much earlier in the day, because as it was, I didn't get most of my pictures of the experiment until nine at night, meaning I was required to use the flash. And those pictures all turned out grainy and unclear. Because of this, I made my biggest mistake: I left the tarp out until the next morning to get clearer pictures. And while the pictures turned out clear, as you can see to the right, it meant that I had to spend an hour scrubbing dried food from my tarp, which was enough to make me sick.

My best and proudest moment was having an actual food fight. I never would have thought that I would throw together a food fight, and especially not at the last minute. But, luckily, I have a teacher with amazing ideas and some friends that are more willing to get messy than they let on. I had so much fun putting the little event together, and we all had so much fun participating (even if my friends won't let on as much) even though it took me and the girls almost a half hour to get the food and tangles out of our hair afterwards. It was a really fun day that I will remember forever, and the only reason it even came about was because of this website and this competition, so I'm really grateful for that.

Below is a Prezi giving a step-by-step explanation of how this website came to be. It was certainly a long process.
