
27 grams of suger (2 tablespoons of sugar)
80 mg of caffeine

the high levels of the skeletal and heart muscles of
humans)
Glucuronolactone (it supports the body to lose

Methodology


We pour and label each 8 oz Red Bull/Ginger Ale sample in
an 8oz. Plastic cup
We ask each person to run from one end of the hall to the
other. As they are running we time them.
The participants will drink the Red Bull/Ginger Ale. The
following ratios of Red Bull:Ginger Ale were used so that
the contents of Red Bull were the only variables,
attempting to keep sugar, water, carbonation as constant
as possible
Then, we wait 1 minute for them to drink the Red Bull
We ask them to run again and time them again as they
run.
Throughout the experiment, we record data and qualitative
notes

Conclusion



In conclusion, we had fun doing this
experiment.
A small change that we could’ve done was to
work on this experiment earlier because we
kept forgetting the materials.
But overall we felt like we did an excellent
job.
