      Today, in Science class, we dissolved sugar in water. Done.

Roll credits!

       Never mind, I'll talk about what we did. During class, we were given some beakers and a small spatula. We were given some sugar along with some cold and hot water. We tested whether something would dissolve faster if we stirred or not and whether it dissolves in cold or hot water faster. Because of the test, we found out that the mixture dissolves faster when stirred and in hot water, which seems much obvious.

      During the experiment, we discovered the average time for the sugar to dissolve in several conditions. We divided the total amount of time with the amount of tests and these were what we had:

(These are not completely accurate, some of these were mistimed)

- 50 ml of cold + 1 spatula of sugar, stir - 54 sec.

- 50 ml of hot + 1 spatula of sugar, stir - 29.75 sec.

- 50 ml of cold + 1 spatula of sugar - 76.2 sec.

- 50 ml of hot + 1 spatula of sugar - 163.8 sec.

      Yeah, seems about right.

The long explanation:

 Experiment: Test to see where sugar dissolves faster and record the time on how long it takes to dissolve.

 Testing: We put one spatula of sugar into the beakers with cold and hot water. One pair we didn't stir and let to settle while the other pair we kept in a constant moving spiral. We used a stopwatch to record the time.

 Result: Our results were:

Cold water: stirred - 55s, untouched - 156s

Hot water: stirred - 37s, untouched - 87s

 After: We added the results and divided it for the amount of the results. The average time of dissolution is shown above.

 Conclusion: The sugar dissolved faster in hot water, even faster when stirred.
