What is the effect of temperature on how long it takes The food coloring to spread out?
The molecules inside a solid not move very quickly or separate from the other often. The molecule inside Hot water moving really fast.
If we increase the temperature of the water then the food Glenn is going to spread out faster (it will take less time for the hot water to spread out) because when water is heating up is gaining energy making the molecules move faster, along the food coloring to spread out quicker.
200 ML beaker
Thermometer
Red food coloring
Hot, room temperature, Cold water
Timer
Popsicle stick

Poor 100 ML of hot water into a 200 ML beaker
Place thermometer in beaker. Give one minute for the thermometer to adjust
Recorded temperature

Immediately start the timer
Once the food coloring has entirely spread out in your beaker, Stop the timer
Continue one stir every minute until the food coloring has completely spread out
Record time in seconds
Repeat steps one through seven for room temperature water and ice water

Trend:
Overall it took the food coloring the least amount of time to spread out in the hot water the ice water and room temperature water
3,4 specific details
On average the food coloring placed in hot water at 60°C took 96 seconds to spread out. The Coldwater took 228 seconds is spread out at 13°C. The room temp water took 175 seconds at 23°C to spread out.
2 to 3 comparisons
It took 79 more seconds for the food coloring to spread out in room temp water then in hot wate.

Error one
Started or stop the timer too fast or too slow.
It would cause our trial times to be inconsistent which would change our average Data.
For room temp water it took 248 seconds the food clothes for about 90 seconds in trial one
To change my procedure and make it better next time I would have a step that tells the person that is using a timer to get I level with the beakers they can be more exact with timing.

Error two
The size of the
