The project tests if dogs have a preferred food temperature based on how fast they want to eat and if they finish. Dog food was served at different temperatures and the dog's eating was timed.

This is a strong and well-executed Grade 5 experiment with solid data collection and clear conclusions supported by evidence.
Your use of the CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) method made your conclusion incredibly strong! I loved how you used your research on “aroma molecules” to explain exactly why your dog preferred the hot food. This shows a deep understanding of how smell and taste are connected. Great work!
