Mrs. Sprinkle’s Example Question to Investigate: Does adding salt to water make it boil faster? Hypothesis: If I add salt to a pot of water, then it will boil faster than the pot of water with no salt. Background Research: I found two websites that explained the melting and boiling points for salt, the history of salt, and the characteristics of salt. This information was written in my logbook. Experimental Set-up: Materials: 1-Oven 2- 5 Quart Pots 4- ½ cups of salt 1-measuring cup 32-cups of water, 4 cups per pot per trail 1-spoon 1-stopwatch Procedures:
Trial 1- Pot A: 5:30 minutes Pot B: 5:02 minutes Trial 2- Pot A: 5:24 minutes Pot B: 5:00 minutes Trail 3- Pot A: 5:23 minutes Pot B: 5:03 minutes Trial 4- Pot A: 5:31 minutes Pot B: 5:03 minutes Results: Compiled in Math class on Nov. 18 or 19 |
