The Scientific method – Write up

Title – The Scientific method

Purpose: What do you want to learn/find out?

How can we change the speed of the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and yeast? 



Hypothesis: Try to predict the answer to the problem. Another term for hypothesis is ‘educated guess’. This is usually stated like ” If I…(do something) then…(this will occur)

If we added least yeast and added more hydrogen peroxide.

Materials: List everything you will need to conduct your experiment.

Add the hydrogen peroxide into a plastic bottle 

2. Add the dishwashing liquid

3. Add food colouring

4. Mix it all up 

5. Put the yeast in a plastic cup with warm water

6. And mix it 

7. Put  the hydrogen peroxide, dishwashing liquid, and food colouring in to the the cup

 


Experiment procedure: The fun part! Design a test or procedure to confirm or disprove your hypothesis. Write down each step so that someone else could do the same experiment.

Plastic bottle 

Plastic cup

Hydrogen Peroxide

Dishwashing liquid

Food colour

Yeast

Warm water

2-4 Tea-spoon


Analysis/Data: Record what happened during the experiment. 

When we poured the hydrogen peroxide into the yeast and warm water we thought the experiment would explode but it didn’t, it just grew. Then we got to play with it  and our hands turned pink.
