Who this list is for
This dissolving rate experiment supply list is for children comparing sugar in cold, room-temperature, and warm water. Warm tap water only should be prepared with adult supervision.
How to use this list
Label the clear plastic cups with waterproof labels and a permanent marker before adding water. Set out separate pitchers for cold, room-temperature, and warm water. Use measuring spoons to add the same amount of granulated sugar to each cup, then stir with wooden stir sticks and start digital timers. Students record results on their data tables with pencils.
Common mistakes
Do not use boiling water or unapproved heated water. Keep the water temperatures labeled so the pitchers and cups are not mixed up. Avoid changing both sugar amount and stirring time in the same comparison. Each cup needs its own stir stick to keep the trial setup organized.
What is on this list
The inventory includes one bag of granulated sugar, 12 clear plastic cups, and pitchers of cold, room-temperature, and warm water. It also includes measuring spoons, 24 wooden stir sticks, digital timers, waterproof labels, a permanent marker, data tables, and pencils. Cross off timers, markers, or measuring spoons your classroom already owns.
When you are done
Collect data tables before emptying the cups. Dispose of the sugar-water mixtures as directed by the teacher, then wipe the table and return timers, labels, and measuring spoons. Keep the comparison focused on recorded dissolving conditions rather than taste or drinking the mixtures.
