Ms. Samuels' Class Is Worth Its Salt



Let Ms. Samuels' scientific method experts take you through our latest experiment, inspired by the Bronx's recent snowstorms. They sure showed Ms. Miller how smart science is done!

Hypothesis
If we pour salt on ice then the ice will melt quickly and be more cold.
(Marlin)

Observations
Time -- Observation
1 min -- bubble
2 min -- Mix with water
3 min -- It melt
4 min -- Stuck
5 min -- Ice
6 min -- Smack out
7 min -- Sweat
8 min -- Salt ice
9 min -- Hard shell
10 min -- Smell like limon
(Diandre)

Time -- Observation
0 min -- Nothing
1 min -- The salt is melting the Ice.
2 min -- The ice is stuck to the can.
3 min -- The salt is breaking the Ice.
4 min -- The salt is frozen.
5 min -- The salt burn my frend
6 min -- The Ice is frezing the can
7 min -- Now the Ice is melting
8 min -- The Ice is getting thin
9 min -- The can is getting colder
10 min -- The Ice is gone
(Robert)

Data
Time (min) -- Temperature (ºC)
0 (min) -- 10 (ºC)
1 (min) -- 0 (ºC)
2 (min) -- 4 (ºC)
3 (min) -- 0 (ºC)
4 (min) -- 0 (ºC)
5 (min) -- -2 (ºC)
6 (min) -- -3 (ºC)
7 (min) -- -10 (ºC)
(Walter)

Conclusion
The salt melt in to water. It had ice in it. It cud mix with enitin.
(Oscar)

The salt was turn into cold in the ice. The water was turn salt, then the water was cold. The water and salt was mix into ice.
The temperature went down. My hypothesis is similar to results. The temperature went down. The hypothesis is a guess.
