LI: to explore science equipment.

Our task was to measure an exact amount of sugar and dissolve in both hot and cold water to make a solution.

The equipment we used was:

-  A petri dish

- A weighing machine

- Table sugar

- Two 200ml beakers

-  A pipette ( or dropper)

- Spatula

- Thermometer

- Stop watch

The method we used was placing a petri dish on the weighing machine or a scale. Fill the beaker with 100ml  of cold water, measure 10 grams of sugar in the petri dish. Pour the 10 grams of sugar in the 100ml beaker with the water and stir. 

we used the stopwatch to see how long the water would take for the hot and cold water to dissolve. Obviously the hot water had more effect than the cold water, and the hot water had made everything sticky.
