Denise heard that little children pick food based upon color. She read many studies about food color and selection. She learned when foods are not the color people expect, it makes them think the flavor is different. To test this, she offered 100 kindergarten children colored mashed potatoes for lunch. The colors served were red, yellow, green, and blue. As the students selected the mashed potatoes, she wrote down which color each student selected. She then counted how many students selected each color.

A. Independent Variable B. Dependent Variable C. Control D. Replicates
