MY TESTABLE QUESTION:

How long would it take for a sugar cube to weather using dripping water?

HYPOTHESIS

Does the surface area of a sugar cube effect the weathering when exposed to
dripping water because of how much more the water would have to go through to
finally brake through.

RATIONAL

My experiment will help society by giving more information on how fast weathering
happens so that building dont weather as fast.

MATERIALS
You will need:
A dropper
Water
11 packets of sugar cubes
2 containers
A notebook and pen

PROCEDURES

1- Set up two sugar cubes ( there can be more than two if wanted)
2- Drop drops of water till you see the surface of the sugar cubes start to weather.
3-Observe to see if there are other changes.
4-Write down the observations for each of the cubes.
5-Repeat 10 more times.
6-The compare results.

MY ANALYSIS

So for my analysis my average was 18.6 drops for cube A and 19.7 drops for cube B.
Also for trail 1 it was 16 drops and 22 drops for trail 10 of cube A, and for cube B trail
1 it was 19 drops and 31 on trail 10. In addition this data supports my hypothesis.

REFERENCES

Mrs. Aycrigg
New York Times Who made that sugar cube?

ABSTRACT

So to summary my power point my question was answered, my hypothesis was

correct and my data supports it.

CONCLUSION

So in conclusion I think that my hypothesis was proven correct. This experiment

can be improved if you used real rocks or materials that can are used to build
homes so that doesnt attract insects and it didnt start to rot or mold. Also if you
use stronger weathering patterns.
