Lifesavers Dissolving in Water

CSEF · 2011 Product Science (Physical) (Junior Division Only)

Alexander Woodside · Mountain Oaks School, San Andrea, Calaveras County

Overview

Objectives/Goals The purpose of this project was to find the dissolving rate of different flavors of Lifesavers in water. The experiment involved keeping the water temperature at 70 degrees fahrenheit and recording how fast the Lifesavers dissolved. Methods/Materials This process was achieved by measuring the 1/2 cup of water with a thermometer in the glass jar before dropping the Lifesavers in the water. As soon as the Lifesavers hit the water, the stopwatch was started. When the Lifesavers completely dissolved, the stopwatch was stopped. All 12 Lifesavers were recorded in this fashion. Results The Lifesavers dissolved at different rates due to the variability of ingredients and size. Conclusions/Discussion My results proved my hypothesis that Lifesavers dissolved at different rates.
