The Dissolving Ability of Water
Scientific Method
Direction: Read the short narrative about the Jack has a science project about the
Dissolving Ability of Water. Join Jack and his group- dissolving traits of matter. His teacher asked them
mates as they go along with their science investigation. to answer the problem: Which type of water will 5
Cite and write the different steps in scientific method
that they did to complete their performance task. grams of salt dissolves faster, in 1 cup of hot
water or 1 cup of cold water?
PROBLEM: _________________________________
___________________________________________ Jack and his
___________________________________________ groupmates do
___________________________________________ research and
___________________________________________
___________________________________________
gather related data
about the problem. They found out that Salt can
be in a form of crystal or crystalline powder and
DATA: ______________________________________
can be dissolve in water very quickly. By doing
___________________________________________
___________________________________________ more research on the internet, they found out that
___________________________________________ Hot water makes solid dissolves easier and faster
___________________________________________ than cold water because hot water has a lot of
___________________________________________
energy causing water molecules to move faster.
___________________________________________
___________________________________________ Jack also found out that cold water has slower
moving molecules which dissolves substances
slower.
HYPOTHESIS: ______________________________
___________________________________________
Based on the gathered
___________________________________________
___________________________________________ data, Jack’s group decided
___________________________________________ that 5 grams of salt will
dissolves faster in 1 cup of
hot water. Jack’s team
EXPERIMENT: ______________________________
___________________________________________
conducted an experiment
___________________________________________ to prove that their
___________________________________________ hypothesis is correct.
___________________________________________
___________________________________________
___________________________________________ They started their experiment by preparing all the
___________________________________________ materials they need. They put 1 cup of hot water
___________________________________________ in the container, add 5 grams of salt and stir the
___________________________________________ mixture 5 times. They set the timer after the
___________________________________________
___________________________________________ stirring and observe how long it will take for the
___________________________________________ salt to completely dissolve. They repeat the same
process for cold water.
CONCLUSION: ______________________________ Jack’s group concluded that based on the
___________________________________________
experiment, 5 grams of salt dissolves faster in 1
___________________________________________
___________________________________________ cup of hot water than in cold water. Their
___________________________________________ conclusion was based on the observations and
___________________________________________ data analysis that they have gathered in the
___________________________________________
experiment.
