Middle School Science Fun Experiment: How much starch do some of the popular foods we eat contain? Category: Biology Ages: Middle School One interesting science project for middle school students would be to test how much starch is in many of the common foods we eat. For this experiment, you will need a glass jar, a plastic plate, some iodine, water, an eye dropper, a starch chart and small samples of some common foods like butter, rice, cheese, meat, raw potatoes and apples. The first thing you need to do is to make the iodine solution, which is 50% water and 50% iodine mixed together in the glass jar. Next you can set the small samples of food onto the plastic plate. Then take your eye dropper and put a few drops of iodine on the first piece of food. If there is starch in the food the iodine will turn dark brown or blue-black. Record your findings on the starch chart and do the same with all the other foods and record them on the chart. How do they compare to one another?
