Project Title: "Does Temperature Affect How Fast Salt Dissolves in Water?"

Question: How does water temperature affect the time it takes for salt to dissolve?

Hypothesis: I think salt will dissolve faster in hot water than in cold water because heat makes molecules move faster.

Materials: Table salt, measuring cups, thermometer, stopwatch, hot water (120°F), room temperature water (70°F), cold water (40°F), measuring spoons

Procedure:

1. Measure 1 cup of water at each temperature
2. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to each cup
3. Stir each cup the same way
4. Time how long it takes for salt to completely dissolve
5. Repeat 3 times for each temperature

Data Results:

Hot Water (120°F): 15 seconds, 18 seconds, 16 seconds (Average: 16.3 seconds)
Room Temperature (70°F): 45 seconds, 42 seconds, 47 seconds (Average: 44.7 seconds)
Cold Water (40°F): 95 seconds, 98 seconds, 92 seconds (Average: 95 seconds)
