Answer:

Aim: To investigate which material of pot will cook food quicker.

Hypothesis: The (aluminum/enamel) pots will cook the food quicker than the (aluminum/enamel) pots.

Apparatus:

- Aluminum pots

- Enamel pots

- Stove top

Variables:

Independent variable (What will be changed) - Material of pot

Dependent variable (What's being measured) - Time taken for food to cook

Controlled variables (What's staying the same) - Size of pot, type of food being cooked, quantity of food being cooked, stove top

Method:

  1. Place aluminum pot on stove top and turn on stove top
  2. Cook your chosen food in the pot
  3. Record time taken for food to cook
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 another 2 times
  5. Place enamel pot on stove top and turn on stove top
  6. Cook chosen food in the pot
  7. Record time taken to cook
  8. Repeat steps 5-7 another 2 times

Results: (I don't have results because i never conducted this experiment)

Conclusion: This experiment showed that (aluminum/enamel) pots cooked the food quicker than (aluminum/enamel pots). These results (supported/rejected) my hypothesis.

Evaluation: (Never did the experiment, so there's nothing to evaluate)

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps :)
