The Scientific Method

Aim: To compare the boiling point of tap water and salt water

Hypothesis: I think the salt water will boil faster

Equipment:

150 millimeters tap water (two)
Salt ( 2tsp )
2 Beakers
Bunsen Burner
Bunsen Burner - Tripod
Heat Resistant Mat
Gauze Mat 


Method:

1. Collect the equipment
2. Attach the bunsen burner to a gas tap
3. Fill up both beakers with water
4. Add salt to one beaker and mix
5. Place the beaker  with tap water on the tripod
6.Place the bunsen burner on the heat mat underneath
7. Light the bunsen burner and adjust the flame to blue
8. As it heats up place the thermometer in the beaker of water until it is boiling
9, Record the temperature on your blog

10. Repeat the process for salt water

Findings: Boiling point

Tap water:
100
Salt water:
97 - ish
