Our guiding question is: What different types of chocolate will melt faster? The reason we chose this is because we both really love chocolate, and one day we were eating a piece of milk chocolate, and it melted in our hands. The next day, we were eating dark chocolate, and it didn't melt. Why? We both wondered if melting different types of chocolate will be different because of the specific ingredients from different brands.
Fun project! You did a great job designing this experiment and laying out your hypothesis and how you came to them. Your data is displayed clearly so it is really easy to understand. I really like your perspective on being wrong! And I agree, one of the great things about science is that it never ends if you don’t want it to. You can keep asking questions and finding ways to find the answer! Nice job!
Nice experiment and I like that you are asking questions at the end of your experiment. It shows your curiosity about the subject. You might want to look into the types of oils the chocolate has in it. Different oils have different melting points, so that also may affect how fast the chocolate melts.
You asked a great question, and I like how you tested six chocolates and did three trials for each one. Your data table and graph were clear, and it was awesome that you explained your hypothesis was wrong and what you learned from it.
I love that your research experiment generated even more questions for you to ask next time! Excellent presentation of your research design and methods!
Great job!! I really enjoyed your project!
