2. Question
If you mix flour and water together, is it
liquidy or does it bubble?
Hypotheses
My hypotheses are:
- None of the mixtures will bubble
- Some of the mixtures will be liquidy and some won’t
depending on how much water I add.

3. Experiments
Three experiments with different amounts of
flour and water
Experiment Flour Water
Experiment 1 1 cup 3 cups
Experiment 2 ½ cup 2 cups
Experiment 3 ½ cup ¼ cup

4. Experimental protocol
Materials:
- Flour
- Water
- 3 bowls
- Spoon
- Measuring cup
Method:
Measure
flour
and
water.
Add
flour
and
water
together
and
mix
with
spoon.

5. Data
Experiment 1
It got a little bubbly
and really liquidy.

6. Data
Experiment 2
There was a tiny bit
of bubbles and it
was pretty liquidy.

7. Data
Experiment 3
It got kind of doughy
and there were no
bubbles. It was like
play-dough.

8. Conclusions
• The mixture did bubble a little. My first
hypothesis was not correct.
• Two of them were pretty liquidy and the
other was doughy. It did depend on how
much water I added. If I added more water
it was more liquidy. My second hypothesis
was correct.

9. Conclusion
Sometimes
experiments can
be really fun and
sticky!
