September 24th and 25th

Today we turned in our first ten points of homework and then began the International Boiling Point Project. We got into groups and discussed four possible factors that could affect the boiling point of water.

These factors were 1) the temperature of the room, 2) the amount of water to be boiled, 3) the altitude of the boiling location and 4) the type of stove used to heat the water.

Each group came up with their hypothesis based upon what they thought was the most important factor--we then practiced performing the experiment.

We will do the experiment for real on Tuesday/wednesday.
