My topic for science fair was spray on toothpaste this my write up.
Introduction
The Spray on toothpaste is like no other. It’s cheap and fun to use. We have done some research and have found that the only other spray on toothpaste is unable to be purchased in New Zealand. The people that we surveyed expected the price that we have priced it at which is around $5.00. From the surveys that we have done this product is needed.The spray can from the product will be reusable and you can put toothpaste in it so it is environmentally friendly.
Aim
Our aim is to make a toothpaste spray can that is reusable and environmentally friendly.
What we know
We have done a bit of research and all what we have found is a similar product which the purpose of it isn't meant to be for spray on toothpaste, it is for mouthwash. And a Sensodyne Spray on toothpaste but we don’t know if it is legit because we have never seen it in shops.The only other product we have found is Sensodyne spray on toothpaste but we have never seen it in shops or anywhere or maybe its in a different country. But we haven't seen it in New Zealand shops. We have asked people and they said they have never heard of it. Our product will be better because it will have a better design and more efficient because it will be in a reusable can so you can put toothpaste in and out.
Marketing
It will be sold in a thin tall box with a plastic see through part on the right side of the box. It would sell for $8 a can and $5 a refill. This product would be purchasable in supermarkets and pharmacy.
Needs Assessment
To design this product we got a empty spray can and we decorated it to look like what we have now. We didn’t really make anything after that product that we made because we were quite happy of what it looked like so that was the only model we made.
We did a survey (Room 42 students) and 90% of the people surveyed stated that they need this product. Only 2 out of 30 have said that they have seen a product like this, and 10% wouldn’t buy this product.
OTHER
We have also tried to create bacon, strawberry or bubblegum flavoured toothpaste for the spray can but unfortunately we couldn't find a recipe.
Project development
When we created spray on toothpaste the idea was that it would make it much easier to put toothpaste on your brush but when we opened the can this happened.
So I got another spray can and labeled it then named it oral
fresh on the label and we added the price
