Students follow the scientific model of inquiry by forming a hypothesis, performing an experiment, and drawing conclusions. They analyze the collected data to determine what makes water boil. Using an interactive form, students enter the boiling point temperature, room temperature, the elevation of the school, the amount of water boiled, and the method used to heat the water into the project database. All participants are then able to search and sort the database to analyze the data and determine whether their hypotheses were correct. The project Web site also offers a discussion area for participants to discuss what they learned from doing the project and post information about their classes.
Classes receive a certificate for completing the project.
