Hello and Welcome back to Rocio’s Story. Today we’re going to talk about Messy Science. First of all it’s exactly what the name says it is, MESSY.

Today in Messy science we had 3 experiments. Each experiment had colored sugar and 1 liquid. The liquids were water, oil and vinegar. For each experiment we had 25 ml of liquid and 1 teaspoon of colored sugar. Before each experiment we had to make a hypothesis. A hypothesis is an educated guess of what it going to happen.

The first experiment my group conducted was where we combined oil and colored sugar. My groups hypothesis for this experiment was “If we mix oil and sugar then all of the sugar will rise to the top, because the oil is dense and the sugar isn’t.” When we combined both of the things, My group observed lots of things. The things we observed were that the oil made the sugar stick together in a clump, at the bottom. Therefore our Hypothesis was denied.

For the second experiment my group conducted, we combined vinegar and colored sugar. Our Hypothesis for this was that “If we mix vinegar and sugar then the sugar will go to the bottom and make the vinegar very red. This will happen because the vinegar will make the sugar wet and it will clump, It will get red because it’s clear and the sugar has food coloring. After we combined both of the things, My group had lots of observations. Our observations were that the vinegar kinda sucked the food coloring out of the sugar, because the sugar became a lighter red. Another observation was that most of the sugar got in a clump. Therefore our Hypothesis was confirmed.

For the third experiment my group conducted, we mixed water and colored sugar. Our Hypothesis for this was “If we mix sugar and water then the water will be red because the water is clear, and the sugar has food dye.” After the experiment we had lots of observations. Our observations were that the water has turned red because the sugar has food dye. When you mix it you can feel the sugar. Therefore our Hypothesis was confirmed.
