In Science , lately we have been working on Mixtures and Solutions. One of our experiments was trying to get salt to a point where no matter what we do, salt will not dissolve in the water any more. This is called a saturated solution. We also weighed how many grams of salt dissolved in the water. We did that by taking all of the salt that didn’t dissolve out with a filter then we had a scale and put the same amount of water on each side of the scale but one side had the dissolved salt and the other had gram cubes for measuring. This may seem easy but it is hard to make sure you are controlling all of the variables. It was fun but hard.
