c What trend can you see in the results?

d Do any results not fit the trend? If so, what might have caused this?

e What did the students do with the sets of three repeat readings before
that plotted the graph? How did they do this?

f What is the difference between the average time in seconds for the
largest and smallest piece of sugar to dissolve?

2 Circle the correct words.
You may be able to taste / feel that sugar has dissolved / evaporated
in water, but this does not prove that all the sugar is still there. It is also
unsafe to taste solutions, especially if you are not sure what is in them.
Scientifically, we can show that a dissolved substance is still in a
sieve /solution by measuring its height / mass. You already know that
all matter has mass and that its mass does not change, so this is a
useful method of disproving / proving that the matter is there. [5 marks]
