~ Fourth Week Project Report

This week was mainly about seeing whether or not my science experiment was approved of and getting the equipment for it. Since it was approved of, I also started on the background research for it. I found this really good website that describes some aspects of my experiment topic (located here) but I had to use other resources as well. Questions that I looked for answers to whilst researching include:

• What is salt?
• How does table salt differ from other salts?
• Will this affect the water in a different way?
• What is the effect of salt on the boiling temperature of water?
• Where is this applicable in everyday life?
• Why does salt affect the boiling temperature in this way?
• Does salt affect anything else?

I was planning to do the experiment in the last few days but it didn't exactly go to plan so I'll do it when I get the chance to this week. I also started writing the method and all the variables and safety precautions. I found an experiment similar to my own but I changed quite a bit. 

I made a mind map on this experiment alone which I will upload when I have the chance.
