Weekly Blog 1/14 - M&M Experiments

Context: I was observing the amount of sugar changing the M&Ms dissolve rate when I was surprised. Surprise: I was surprised that my hypothesis on the sugar and M&M experiment. Why it was surprising: It was surprising that my hypothesis was incorrect. I thought that the sugar would not affect the dissolving of the M&Ms. What this tells me: This tells me I should know that some things can change the experiment results.

I learned about what happens to M&Ms when it is put in water with different variables. I also learned about how one variable effects the results of an experiment.


Backward-Looking: How much did you know about the topic before we started? What do you now know about the topic that you did not know before? 
I knew that M&Ms dissolves in water when put in them. I also know that the temperature of water affects the M&Ms dissolve. I also know what happens when M&Ms are put in a cup.

Inward-Looking: How do you feel about your work this week? What parts of it do you particularly like? Dislike? Why?
I feel that I did kind of a good job on making my hypothesis and a good job on the experiments. I particularly like doing the experiments. I really liked everything I did this week, so I don't have any dislikes.

Outward-Looking: In what ways does your work meet the standards  for this assignment? In what ways does it not meet the standards? I think the experiment meets the standards for this week. I think collecting my data might not meet the standards. I think this because I don't think I recorded much data as I expected.

Forward-Looking: What would you change if you had a chance to redo the work over again? I would change the data I wrote down on my experiment. I would change it because I did not record much data I was expecting. I would try to give more details on my observations.
