C2. Interpret Data/Conclusion

*Answer your research question!

My data table shows that with the increase of the temperature the amount of gas
released increases as well.

My graph shows that the amount of gas released was stable in the first half, and with
the increase of the temperature, starting from the second half, the gas started
releasing more actively.

I have found out that the temperature is a pretty important factor for the kind of
experiments like this one.

The pattern seen in my graph is the blue line, which is the amount of gas released,
started rapidly increasing since the second part of the graph.

Science can explain this pattern because when the temperature is low, the yeast will
dissolve slowly, but with the high temperature the particles would dissolve much
faster.(*in text citation)

C3. VALIDITY OF THE HYPOTHESIS

If I compare my results with my hypothesis, I can see that my hypothesis was that
the amount of gas released will slowly go with the increase of temperature of water,
but apparently the result and the amount of the gas was much more surprising
because after 35 degrees celsius mark, the amount of gas went up higher than with
the previous temperature.

If I compare my results with published data I can see that my hypothesis was that the
data would contain more data than I was expecting because my thoughts were that
the temperature of yeast in water would have more pressure to show the higher
data.(*in text citation)

If the temperature of The thermometer Stabilise the The temperature
