Digitally Graphing the Solubiltiy of Solutions

Students are to investigate which solutions have the highest solubility and create a digital graph that represents this experimental data.

Students will begin by conducting the lab. (My classroom has digital temperature probes that are able to connect to a computer and download digital content and graph data as students watch the data change. Unfortunately, we don't have the computers necessary to use the digital probeware.) The digital temperature probes will collect temperature data for each of the solutions and the data will be sent to the computer software program. Students will then print the data and compare to see which solution has the highest solubility.

The final product will be a digitally created graph that compares the solubilities of the solutions tested in the labratory experiment.

Extension: Students can then create their own solutions and test the solubility and graph the solubility of the solution. They can then compare their homeade solution's solubilities with other students' graphs and make inferences about how certain solutes affect solubility.
