Which drinks will have

more electrolytes, the


energy drinks or the
orange juice, distilled
water, and tap water?

If I place a sensor inside


the sports drinks then it
will have more
electrolytes than the
orange juice, distilled
water and tap water.

Digital multimeter

Copper wire, bare,

Disposable plastic

In conclusion my hypothesis
was incorrect. Only one of the
sports drinks had more
electrolytes than the orange
juice. The ones with the fewer
electrolytes were tap water and
distilled water. I learned that
orange juice has more
electrolytes than powerade and
Gatorade, but it has less than
electrolit. Some of the famous
sports drinks, like Gatorade and
powerade, do not always give

you the amount of electrolytes


that you need. Sometimes
orange juice is a better option
for obtaining the desired
amount of electrolytes.
