Welcome to our WIKI page. We are group #2 Cadbury!

This page is meant to conduct an experiment for a group project for Chem 316, to get an understanding of the Scientific Method.

What is the Scientific Method ?

- The Scientific Method is an approach on how to conduct experiments while performing careful observations. The results of this approach are universal in the sense that they can be reproduced by any skeptic.

For our project we will first come up with task, create a hypothesis, state what are our predictions, listing the steps we will take and state what our observations were.

1. Task: Polarity in the kitchen - How well does sugar dissolve in water? Does it matter if it is hot or cold? How about oil - will sugar dissolve in that? Why or why not?

2. Hypothesis: We believe that sugar will dissolve in water whether it's hot or cold but sugar will not dissolve in cold oil but it will dissolve in hot oil. 3. Predictions: We believe that sugar will dissolve in hot water quite easily. While sugar in cold water will also dissolve, it will just take slightly a little longer for it to break down completely. On the other hand, we believe that sugar would not dissolve in cold oil because it's a thick liquid that keeps separated from other substances, but if the oil was hot enough it would dissolve. 4. Experiment Steps: Sugar and water. 1.Get two clear glass cups, one of cold water and the other of hot water. 2. Pour two teaspoons of sugar into both cups. 3. Stir slightly in both cups. 4. Observe which cup dissolves the sugar faster. How long does it take the last cup to dissolve the sugar?

5. Results: Gather observations from all group members and decide whether our hypothesis is correct. If not, what could have been done different.
