SCIENCE
Example of Method

Aim: To investigate how the boiling point of water is affected by the addition of different salts.
Equipment: 3 x 100 ml glass beakers
1 x Measuring cylinder
1 x Permanent Marker
1 x Thermometer
3 x Glass rods
1 x Balance or scale
1 x Bunsen burner
1 x tripod
1 x metal gauze
Materials: 225 ml tap water
2 g sodium chloride
2 g calcium chloride
Aluminium foil
1 box of matches
Method:
 Pour 75 ml of tap water into each of the three beakers using the measuring cylinder.
 Label the beakers NaCl, CaCl2 and Control using the permanent marker.
 Use the balance to weigh out 2g of each salt.
 Add the correct salt to each of the labelled beakers with water.
 No salt is added to the control.
 Stir each beaker using a clean, dry glass rod to ensure that the solid is completely dissolved.
 Set up the Bunsen burner under the tripod with the metal gauze on top of the tripod.
 Light the Bunsen burner and set a medium flame.
 Place the beaker containing NaCl onto the Bunsen burner and stir continuously with the glass rod
while heating the mixture.
 Using the thermometer read the temperature once the solution is bubbling vigorously.
 Record the reading in a suitable table.
 Repeat each experiment three times using fresh solutions.
 Repeat the experiment using the other two beakers.
