Project Title: International Boiling Point Project Dates: March 5 - May 25, 2001 Purpose: Ever wonder what causes a pot of water to boil? If you have, this project is for you. The purpose of this project is to discover which factor in the experiment (room temperature, elevation, volume of water, or heating device) has the greatest influence on boiling point. Subjects: Physical Science, Chemistry, Mathematics Grade Level: Project is geared toward middle school level. However, anyone at any age can participate. Summary: Students all over the world will conduct the same experiment which involves boiling a pot of water and recording the boiling point, room temperature, elevation, volume of water, and heating device. They will submit their results to the project web site and the results will be posted in a database for all participants to examine. Then, students will analyze the data to determine which factor has the greatest correlation to boiling point. During the project, students can discuss their questions, findings, and theories with other particpants. Students' final reports will be posted on the project web site. Please see the project web site listed below for more details. Number of Participants: Unlimited Registration Information: There is NO FEE required to join this project.
