Because the water was saturated, a salt layer was formed at the bottom of the jar. Soon, air pockets began to form in the salt layer. When these bubbles escaped, it caused solute to mix with the water to create a cloud of debris in the water, giving it the look of watery milk. Soon the bubbles were very violent, so much so if the cap were on the jar, it would almost certainly explode, due to the pressure that would have been built up. Even when the flame was turned off, the reactions continued for some time afterward. Even though there was some crystalization, though the solution eventually returned to it's original state.
The sugar had mostly the same results, just less violent than it's counterpart, the salt

Day Two
Today was special, because we were able to evaporate a solution with the solute of salt and a solvent of water. At first the solution resembled regular water, and there was no major immediate result. Soon afterwards, however, the solution started to bubble, and the surface rippled. Soon a ring of salt formed on the sides. There was much steam and bubbles, and eventually evaporated. The salt continued to bubble after the water was evaporated, and when touched it's consistency resembled kenetic sand, where when pressed it stuck together for a moment, but soon fell apart with a synthetic feel, and looked like snow.There was more salt in the pan than could be seen in the jar before, and I think this is because the water was saturated, so the dissolved salt added to the salt layer, but while in the jar it was not visible.

These were summarized paragraphs of what I observed during this process.]]> 2017-02-03 16:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494906 Frankie Croteau https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494910 On the first day we put the salt water and sugar water on the stove. The salt water and sugar water both had bubbles rising to the top, and looked as though the salt and sugar were popping. The bubbles varied in size. Only the salt formed a crystallized salt mass on top. When ice touched the side of the jar, the crystallization fell to the bottom.

On the second day, we did two different things with salt water. The small salt water we put in a pan and evaporated. The big jar of salt water, we put on the stove again.

The salt water we put in the pan started by steaming and bubbling. Salt crystals also formed around the edge of the pan, right above the water. Then a layer of salt formed on the bottom that looked like snow. When Ms. Tomsun scraped the pan, there was even more salt than the salt she had put in the jar to start. That was because the water had expanded the salt.

The big jar of salt water reacted basically the same way it did on the first day. It started by bubbling on the bottom in the salt, then the bubbles rose to the top, and the water sloshed around, and finally, the water began to steam and a crystallized salt mass formed at the top.

Overall, I enjoyed this project. It was interesting and exciting, and I hope we get to do it again. I also hope we do more hands on projects in science class.]]> 2017-02-03 16:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494910 Cameron Appelbaum https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494921 This has been a great experience and was AMAZING how all has happened from salt water in a jar, (day one) too in a pan, (day two). Princeton was an outstanding group to work with.

Day One:
So day one was all about the jar and we saw the solution go higher.
There was a lot of bubbling with the salt and sugar.
The SUGAR water looked like honey.

(Yesterday) Day Two:
On the pan it looked like snow and there was no salute only solvent. It was pretty cool. It was steaming and sizzling when we took it off the flame.
Meanwhile, the jar of salt on water were rising and looked like old and expired milk.
(Ms. Tomsun took out some salt because it was not working like the other classes but it didn't work. The salt went to the bottom in chunks.)]]> 2017-02-03 16:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494921 Joshua Rhee https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494924 Day:1 On the first day my class boiled salt and sugar. We saw how the salt and sugar reacted to the stove. The sugar bubbled up and did not have any crystallization, but the salt reacted the same way because it just started to bubble.

Day:2 My class boiled salt in two different ways. One in a pan and one in a jar. ]]> 2017-02-03 16:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494924 Alex Chin https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494939 On the first day when we put the saturated salt and sugar on the stove it started boiling and bubbles were starting to form under the salt and sugar and rising the the top, this happened to the salt a little more than the sugar at the beginning. The water didn't really wave around or anything. When ice was touched to the jar a salt crystal would fall from the top.

Yesterday, day two, the evaporation and saturated crystallization was very interesting. When we put the big jar of salt and water on the stove bubbles started forming and coming to the top like the first day but this time the water did start sloshing and waving around. I noticed that with the salt water that we poured in a pan that we used not right at the start but toward the middle there started formed a layer of salt crystals around the edges of the pan and the water started evaporation. The pan also started to steam. Then the whole inside of the pan basically had a layer of expanded salt in it and when Ms.TomSun scraped it, it looked like snow and it also felt really cool. It was really fun.

I observed that after around a minute on the stove the salt started bubbling in the mason jar. The water was clear at first but then it looked like watery milk! At this point you could barely see the salt. The next moment when I looked back from writing this was the salt was crystallizing! - It looked like the ARCTIC!

Day Two, Crystallizing in a Pan:
The pan we put around
1 teaspoon
And then went up to the A.T.
Kitchen and turned up the heat to max. Then we put the pan with the salt in it on the stove. First thing I saw was the salt floating up to the top of the pan and going off on the side, not in the boiling water. So much more salt was going to the top of the pan. After this process was over, the salt (Solvent) was dry like snow that needed to be shoveled. then Ms. Tomsun took a spatula and scooped up the salt and it looked like snow. It was multiplied. That was the end of Day Two and this piece of writing.

In the pan there was a layer of salt .In the jar there was some flakes of sugar.On the side of the jar was solution on the side which looked like some dried up glue.The one in the pan did not bubble.Instead in just looked like it was sticking to the pan.but it was not stuck at all.We scooped the pan and it shreded up and looked like snow but felt like kinetic sand. ]]> 2017-02-03 16:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494956 Hans Huetter https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494957 DAY 1
In the begining, we started with the salt water jar. We turned on the stove and wiated for something to happen. It started boiling after a while and salt was starting to appear at the bottom. Since it was boiling, bubble were actually forming under the appearing salt. The bubbles turned huge and it was bouncing the salt.

When we moved onto sugar, not much happened at first. There was nothing but teensy bubbles.
We waited longer and then the bubbles started to enlarge. They got bigger than the salt jar's bubbles and went up to the top like crazy. Even when we took it off the stove, the bubbles were still there!

When I looked back to the salt, crystals started forming at the surface. The first few were jagged and small, they fell after a while and dissapeared. Another small crystal was forming but took up the whole surface! Crystals form from oversaturation, or when the solvent can't dissovle the solute any longer.

DAY 2
We made a small jar of salt water for testing evaporation.
We poured the jar onto a frying pan and turned the stove on. The wateer started boiling and steaming. It was steaming from evaporation.
After all of the water evaporated, all that was left was salt. It looked like there was more salt than we put in but it was because the water puffed it up. We scraped it off the pan with a spatula and we got to feel it. It felt soft and like Kenetic Sand.

Overall, with both days, this observation of solutions was super fun. I loved how we got to watch the bubbles in the jar go crazy and watch it become different. I also loved feeling the "Kenetic Salt".

The water was also rising a little bit on the first day but what it did the most of was bubbling. There was a lot of bubbling because of the heat from the stove.

Second Day: we put salt and water in a pan to see the water saturate into the salt. It was really cool to see because it crusted on the bottom and on the edge of the pan. It looked like snow when Ms. Tomsun scraped the salt crystals off the pan. It felt like kinetic sand.

Sugar Observation Details: First Day: The sugar was not doing that doing that much at first except it was getting very, very warm from the heat on the stove. But then if you looked more closely above the sugar it was steaming like hot water in a kettle. After that the salt water was bubbling a lot. Then it got like it was bubbling like mad! After The Ms. Tomsun took it off the stove and we all observed it. This was one of the best projects so far! Thank you Ms. Tomsun!!!! ]]> 2017-02-03 16:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494960 Julia Perry https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494965 On day one, we boiled the salt and the sugar. When we put the salt in the jar with the water it sank to the bottom. We put in on the stove and five minutes later the solute (salt) started bouncing and forming small bubbles. I could tell the solute was finally dissolving a little because the water solvent ( water) began to look less clear, which means the salt began to disappear into the water. The sugar took a while to react. It had small bubbles at the beginning and they got a little bigger but that was it.

On day two, we boiled salt and water in a jar , and salt and water in a pan. In the cup, the same thing happened in the beginning on day one except this time, I saw layers. It went, salt foggy water, the beginning of crystalization , air. Then huge bubbles started jumping up. And then suddenly steam started bursting. So we took it off the stove. Meanwhile in the pan, ]]> 2017-02-03 16:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494965 Elias Cross https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494973
On the first day Salt it was like the appetizer it was just getting the evaporation started. We boiled the salt water and one cool thing about the salt is it would turn into a flake and then it would fall down. We could see the mixtures separating we could clearly see that a tiny bit of salt was at the top, the water was in the middle and most of the salt was at the bottom. On the first day sugar the sugar wasn't as cool as the salt but it showed little affect. The water just raised a little and started to make big bubbles.

The second day was when it started to show affect but it took some time to show just a little affect. It started out like the same thing on day one but it then started to barely start the saturation process. The water started to rise and get higher it was then steaming. It started to boil then the water turned white because of the bubbles. Just like a hot tub.. It started to boil really big. It looked like river rafting and then we had to turn the stove off.

Evaporation
The evaporation was my favorite part. It was awesome. At the start it just looked like salt water in a pan. It started to boil and then steam but then it started to evaporate . It felt like snow or kinetic sand. Their started to have air pockets. It started to sizzle which was awesome.

I loved this project it was one of the best projects ever. Thank you Ms.TomSun]]> 2017-02-03 16:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494973 ASHER KRAMER https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494976 On day one, when we observating the salt we saw that bubbles/salt were rising. The fire was making the salt glass very hot and made salt look like Antartica. It sounded poopy while the sugar didn't move or do anything to help our facts.

Day 2,
Bubbles were popping in the salt. chrystilization was happening in the pan with salt but the glass bottle would not chrystalize.]]> 2017-02-03 16:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494976 Scarlett Crenshaw https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151494984 DAY ONE:

On the first day we put the mixtures on the stove, the jar with the mixture of water and salt the salt started to bubble and the salt also started to rise to the top of the jar. The water started to get really milky I am guessing because of the salt. After we took it off the burner there was thin layers of crystalized salt folting on the top of the jar.

In the sugar water there was a bunch of bubbles because it got overheated. The sugar water was not over saturated so it was mostly just water so, all it really did was bubble. When we took it off the burner the sugar water was still bubbling and steaming.

DAY TWO :

This time instead of putting the sugar water on the burner we put a tiny jar of water and salt in a pan and saw what happened.

A few mins. after we put the mixture of salt and water in the pan and on the bruner all the salt started going to the side of the pan. A few mins. later all the water was gone and so we took the pan off the burner. It looked like some sort of frost or even white sand. Ms.TomSun put the salt in a pile and it felt like snow or sand, and yes, thoses are the things that I said they looked like.

When we put the salt water on the burner it did the same thing like the first day it bubbled but it did not form crystals. When we took it off the burner and put it on the table, it moved the table, well it shook it at least.

This experament was very fun and I wish to do it again.

THE END

The water was clearing and you could clearly see the separate components of the mixture. The solvent was really dissolving the solute. For the sugar water, nothing was really happening, I think we needed more sugar in the solution. At about five minutes on the stove, the sugar started having huge bubbles coming out of it, and it was really evaporating. By this point the salt was having a huge reaction it was rocking on the stove and then popping, it looked like it was about to fall over. When we took them both off the stove they were still steaming and bubbling.

Day 2: After a few minutes the salt mixture in the jar was already bubbling and rocking, tons of steam was coming off of the top. In the salt pan, the water was evaporating really quickly, this time the salt was the solvent and the water was the solute. Within 10 minutes all the water from the shallow pan was gone, leaving a layer of snowy looking salt. Ms. TomSun scraped some salt off the pan and I felt it, it felt powdery and soft, like snow, but it was not cold. The salt solution in the jar was about to fall over, so we moved it onto the table, and it started rocking the whole table, it felt like the table had a heart beat. A thin layer of salt had formed on top of the jar, it was like a mini crystallization.

The evaporation and crystallization was an AMAZING science experiment. I loved how we worked as a group in the kitchen to look over the crystallization and evaporation happen right there in front of you eyes.

Day 1:

We were going to try to make salt crystals and sugar crystals by trying to saturate the, sugar and crystals. The saalt started to bubble in about 5 minutes and was moving the stove a little"It's alive!" But the sugar was staying put and calm, but still working its way to the point where it will "Be alive." After we were in the kitchen for 20 - 25 minutes we took the salt and sugar back in the class. The sugar barley bubbled which was somewhat disappointing. But the salt was bubbling CRAZY. Even after we took it off the stove, it was so hot that it kept boiling which was EXTREMELY FASCINATING.

Day 2:

We are going to continue out experiment on crystallising the salt, we had to bail out on the sugar (R.I.P Sugar 2017-2017) because it was showing no signs of crystallization. So we had to improvise, we were going to try evaporation, by mixing salt in water making salt-water. (salt + water = salt-water if you need an equation!) After we mixed salt and water we were going to place it in a pan and heat it up, so it can evaporate the water leaving the remains of the salt. So we headed up the kitchen to start the experiment. We heated up the stove and put the jar and the pan on it, and in a couple minutes, the water evaporates. What was there was a powdery flour-like substance. But for the salt, it just bubbled again but MORE crazy. But when we took some salt out of the jar, it looked the Rice Congee, and we put it back on. The all of a sudden a layer of crystallized salt which was floating on the top floated down. Then it was all the time we had to we had to bring it down to the classroom.

That was the end of an AMAZING experiment with friends and a teacher. THE END! ]]> 2017-02-03 16:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151495027 Lars Vogler https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151495029 Day 1:
When we put the jar on the stove it started to shake and almost fell over. I said it sounded and looked like a small war in the jar. When we took it off the stove it formed a lyre of salt on the top.

Day 2:
We poured the salt water in a pan and then put it on the stove. The water boiled off incredibly fast. What was left was a layer of salt. In the end we ended up with about 5 times as much salt then what we started with.

It was interesting because i got to see the whole process from start to finish.Then another reason is because I got to touch the salt that had come out from the pan. My experince was sort of loud. It was sort of loud because the pan cept on making this loud popping sound and so was the cup of salt water. My favorite part would have to be when the salt was done and she/Ms Tomsun put it on the table and we got to feel the vibration on the table from the cup still bubbling from heating up so much. The main part i liked i that we got to work as a class. The whole process was interesting. ( # R.I.P sugar . Made 2017 died 2017) because the sugar didnt do anything besides bubbled very little.]]> 2017-02-03 16:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151495058 Oliver Hervey https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151495604 On the first day, we saw that it was hard to saturate a solution. The only problem was that it would take days to saturate a solution in an amount of water. We did see that it was bubbling and little crystals were showing but we thought it was not enough.

The second day, we thought that we needed to put the solution in the pan. So we did, it took a little while but once it started around the edge, it started to go to the middle and then there was no water. We saw the other cup just bubbling. After that, we got to feel the saturated solution, it felt like snow and sand. The cup didn't make any crystals, that means the pan with the solution gets saturated.

It was interesting how the salt reacted so fast to the heat than the sugar, I wonder if the order would change if we put in white sugar than brown sugar.

Day one:
When we put the salt on the stove it took about a couple of minutes before the salt started bubbling. The salt made even bigger bubbles after about fifteen minutes in. After about thirty minutes the salt started to form little bunches and they started to float to the top, a little thin line of salt started to form. The sugar on the other hand did not do much really, when the salt was making big bubbles the sugar was making small ones. I wonder if we changed the type of salt and sugar would the order change, as well as how the sugar and salt react to the heat.

Day Two:

On day two the salt looked about the same, but a bunch of salt was collecting on the bottom forming a pile of salt on the bottom. Further in the bubbles where bubbling more. Put what's interesting to me is how it reacted to the pan, the salt water immediately started to evaporate and after a short period of time most of the water has evaporated and salt crystals where starting to form on the side of the pan. When we touched the salt it felt like kinetic sand. The sugar on the other hand reacted the same way it did on day one, but this time the sugar was bubbling more last time.]]> 2017-02-03 16:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151496018 Zyaha https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/22kdepwvqon3/wish/151496180 On the first day I observed that the salt started to bubble in the mason jar. The water was kind of clear but it started getting dirty. It started to make a popcorn noise and the sugar did not really do anything. On day two I observed the salt water in the pan was making a sizzling noise and steam was coming out of the pan. When Ms.Tomsun took the pan off the stove it was a layer of salt in the pan. The salt felt like sand kind of but looked like snow.

Salt kept going to the top and was popping for about 7 minutes. So far the sugar hasn't done anything.
