Title -
Purpose: What do you want to learn/find out?

Which type of sugar will dissolve the fastest ? White sugar or Brown sugar ?


Hypothesis: Try to predict the answer to the problem. Another term for hypothesis is ‘educated guess’. This is usually stated like ” If I…(do something) then…(this will occur)

Materials: List everything you will need to conduct your experiment.
Hot water and brown sugar and white sugar


Experiment procedure: The fun part! Design a test or procedure to confirm or disprove your hypothesis. Write down each step so that someone else could do the same experiment.
  1. We poured 1 little packet of white sugar into hot water ( cup ).
  2. We time how long would it take to dissolve
  3. The we did Brown sugar poured that into hot water ( cup )
  4. Then again we waited to see how long would it take
  5. It finally came down to 5. 53 seconds ( Brown sugar ). Then the White sugar took 7. 49 seconds long.  



Analysis/Data: Record what happened during the experiment.
We pour a little bit of hot water into the sugar. Our first test was the brown sugar would dissolve pretty fast and it did. Then the White sugar


Conclusion:Review the data and check to see if your hypothesis was correct.
The fastest sugar that dissolved the fastest was Brown sugar. The with sugar was slow at dissolving 1.93 seconds may not sound that slow but I didn’t expect it to be slower than the brown sugar  

White sugar or Brown sugar ?

The look on my face, watching which sugar would dissolve the fastest ! Was weird I didn’t really know that the Brown sugar would dissolve just 5. 53s. Leaving 1.93 seconds faster than white sugar 7 .49 would dissolve.

    WOW! I had never thought of doing this experiment before! This is so cool. Maybe I can use it next year with my own class!

    You don't know me yet, but my name is Mark and I'm a teacher working for the summer learning journey you signed up for. I thought I better come online and have a look who has started and then found your experiment! It is so cool!

    I know you haven't started your journey yet, but if you get the chance I think you'd enjoy joining in with your classmates. It seems like they're all having fun learning about the world and traveling.

    The activities are interesting, and there is even the chance to draw, make poems, and argue about bull fighting! There's heaps of stuff to do and the best part is that you decide which stuff you want to do.

    Anyway, I hope to see you online soon. I just thought I would remind you that you can still join in whenever you like.

    Kia kaha, and take care,

    Mark
