gosh, this research better be freaking worth it dammit T.T

cause it's so confusing and hard to find
and elusive and annoying
and NOT WRITTEN IN SIMPLE ENGLISH, THE BASTARDS :(

YO. SUPER PROCRASTINATION MASTER HERE.

anyway, check it outtttttttt-

"We do not monitor the exact freezing temperatures of each of our products. However, our diet products freeze at a temperature similar to water, 32 degrees. Coca-Cola classic freezes at a slightly lower temperature, about 30 degrees. The pressure in an unopened bottle or can will cause the freezing point to be even lower. All diet beverages will freeze before their sugar counterparts. Sugars lower the freezing point of liquids. This means that the temperature must get lower than the normal freezing point of water before it freezes."

[http://questions.coca-cola.com/NSREExtended.asp?WhatUserSaid=At+what+temperature+will+soft+drinks+freeze%3F]

the temperatures mentioned are Fahrenheit... yeah, i freaked when i read that it froze at 32/30degrees LIKEWTFISGOINGON but yeah. took me waaaay too long to realise it -.-
so water freezes at 0degrees, and coke at like... -1.11(-ish)degrees... now, for milk and juice... for the milk I'll probably just use regular full cream milk and for the juice, blackcurrent maybe? cause I won't have to worry about those particle thingys freezing as well ^^

"In physical science, freezing or solidification is the process in which a liquid turns into a sold when cold enough. The freezing point is the temperature at which this happens."

&

"The MPEMBA EFFECT is the observation that, in certain specific circumstances, warmer water freezes faster than colder water. New Scientist recommends starting the experiment with containers at 35°C and 5°C to maximize the effect."

I love Wikipedia.

I'm only researching this MPEMBA thingo for my hypothesis.... trying to determine which liquid would freeze the fastest... So, obviously, freezing point of water would be ZERO, but I'm not too sure about milk or soft drink or juice...

I'm so confused about what's due and what's not >.>

"5 marks will then be allocated to whether you have thought through several different project designs and whether you have listed the independent variable and the dependent variable."

um. welllllllllll.
fail no.1: I was pretty cool with that idea of "the resistance against rust of various metals in different conditions" until that was so kindly shot down by... someone... MSZ... aha..ha... T.T
fail no.2: I considered choosing something that I could do with "people and vision" but that was waaaaaaaay too broad of a topic and I couldn't think of a way to narrow it down
fail no.3: And then I was thinking of something with "taste" but then everyone has a different opinion on food or drinks and the results would have been definitely too confusing. And that idea also failed because it meant giving food to people...

which somehow lead to this final and hopefully not failed idea:
"WHICH FREEZES FASTER BLAHBLAHBLAH"

and so far for that idea:
HOT WATER can sometimes FREEZE FASTER THAN COLD WATER?!?!?!?!?!?
and it's called the Mpemba effect... yeah I know right
Like dude, I'm TOTALLY going to remember the spelling for that >.<

but that seriously goes against everything I thought possible so... more research -.-

maybe instead of doing two soft drinks, I should make one of them milk...?
because then there's more variety in the experiment.

mmm....

okayyyyyyy, so this is my experiment-idea-that-I-am-most-likely-going-to-do:
"WHICH FREEZES FASTER?"
and I'm thinking of testing hot tap water, cold tap water, two kinds of soft drink and maybe fruit juice? so that's five kinds of liquid, and maybe i can do three tries of each type?

so obviously,
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: time
DEPEDENDENT VARIABLE: various liquids
and I'm going to fill use one of those ice-cube shape things, whatever they're called.


but I need to do research now :(
