    This document outlines an experiment to investigate how changing the temperature affects salt water. It describes controlled variables like keeping the salt concentration the same across samples. The independent variable is temperature, with samples placed in a freezer, left at room temperature, and boiled. The dependent variable is the observed state of the salt water samples after the temperature changes. The student is asked to make a hypothesis, record observations, and discuss their results and any difficulties.

    Heating and Cooling Investigation: Salt Water

    Aim:

    What will happen to salt water as the temperature is changed?

    Materials

     Water
     Salt
     Beakers
     Freezer
     Electric hot plate/Bunsen burner
     Teaspoons
     Tape/labels

    Hypothesis (What you think will happen):

    __________________________________________________________________________________

    __________________________________________________________________________________

    Variables:

    Controlled (What you keep the same):

    __________________________________________________________________________________

    Independent (What you change):

    __________________________________________________________________________________

    Dependent (What you measure):

    Steps:

    1. Fill 3 beakers with 100mL of water.


    2. Put 1 teaspoon of salt in each beaker and stir until it is dissolved.
    3. Label each beaker. One will be cooled, one will stay the same, one will be heated.
    4. Place the cooling beaker into the freezer.
    5. Place the beaker which is staying at room temperature somewhere safe.
    6. Heat the last beaker on the electric stove until all the water has boiled off and observe what
    happens. Be extremely careful when heating.
    7. When the cooling beaker has frozen remove it from the freezer.
    8. Compare the 3 beakers.
