Blog Two


For the past couple of days, I have been thinking about my SRP very closely and have taken into consideration what my teacher; Mrs Kleine suggests that I do. After speaking to her in class this week, Mrs Kleine believes that my original idea of testing which brands of soft drink cans will sink and float when placed in water, is somewhat risky in which I do not know the exact contents of gas, resulting in a set back and other little differences between the cans, making it harder for me to explain and evaluate upon the legitimate reasoning of the sinking and floating. I then told her about my idea of testing shampoo brands to see which one causes the most amount of lather. She was very happy with this idea and said that it would be much more simple and interesting for me to test. Unfortunately, I do not feel the same way. Both ideas appear boring and I will lack enthusiasm going into the completing of the experiments, if I were to conduct one of them.

A new idea came to mind; ‘Which type of Chocolate Melts the Fastest’. I am very much interested in this idea, considering my love of food and overall curiosity of the topic. Not only this, but as per present, all appliances are available to me, and I believe that I will have great fun in the kitchen as usual. I didn’t hesitate in starting Part A of my SRP that is the ‘Research’ Section. It is not entirely finished at the moment, but what I have learnt so far through my conduct is how Chocolate is made from bean to bar, what chocolate is made up of primarily, and also that Cocoa Butter is what makes Chocolate melt. This research is only small, and throughout the rest of week, I hope to complete my investigation, to write up an aim and a hypothesis at least. I also hope to post some of this research and my used sources in my coming blogs.
