General Aim:

To determine if failure strength is higher for bones that are used more frequently.

Objectives:

• Determine the failure strength of chicken legs using a 3 point bending test.
• Determine the failure strength of chicken wings using a 3 point bending tests.
• Determine if there is a statistical difference in failure strength of the leg and wing bone.

Hypothesis:

The failure strength of chicken legs will be higher than the failure strength of chicken wings.
