Criterion B (inquiring and designing)

Melting different types of chocolates
You will design an experiment to show which chocolate will melt
first.
You have 3 types of chocolates (white-dark-milk chocolate) and you
need to write an experiment to test which type will melt first and
which will take more time.

1. a) Explain the question to be tested.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

2. Hypothesis: What do you think will happen in the experiment and Why?

3. a) (Independent variable): What I am going to change in my experiment?

Independent variable will be ………………………………………

I am going to change this because.. …………………………………………….

b) (Controlled variable): What I am going to keep the same in all the test groups of my
experiment? Controlled variable

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………...

c) ( Dependant variable) What I am going to measure or count in the experiment?

4. Design the method (your procedure):

● Materials:

Quantity size Object

● Method: ( how are you going to carry out the steps of the experiment)
(In writing your method, make sure you mention what you will do with each of the variables listed
in step 3!)

checklist for a complete method:
❏ your method is logic
❏ In your method, you mention all the variables that you wrote in question 4 and
explain what you will do with each one .
❏ you mention all the safety tools and safety rules that you will follow while doing
the experiment.
❏ In your method you mention the proper materials and equipment
