Lava In A Cup!
-By Kelsey Richmond and Faith Fickey
The Purpose(:
We did this project because it seemed like something fun to do and it was something really easy to experiment on.!
Salt
-14 grams
Red food coloring
just a few drops
Vegetable oil
-1/4 cup
Materials.(:
- 14 grams of salt
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- Water
- Red Food Coloring
- Clear Plastic Cup
Procedure(:
Fill the glass up about ¾ full of water
Add about 5 drops of red food coloring.
Slowly pour the vegetable oil into the glass.
pour 14 grams of salt on top of the oil.
watch the reaction
write down your observation
wait for the reaction to end.
add 28 grams of salt (2 teaspoons)
watch the new reaction
write down your observation
- compare the two reactions
Conclusion!.
The experiment ended up resulting the same as the hypothesis. The second time the the experiment was done lasted longer than the first because two times the amount of salt was used the second time made the reaction time about two times longer than the first reaction time. The experiment could of been better by repeating it over and over and finding the average amount of time between the two times it was experimented . Would it of made it making a graph easier? Does finding the average amount of time it took make comparing them better?
