Why I have chosen to carry out this experiment

I have chosen this idea as it is relevant to everyday cooking, also, I enjoy cooking and it would be interesting to know the effects of salt and the boiling point of water. It was also chosen because the experiment is able to be done with general household utensils such as salt, saucepans etc. My initial research, through the internet has made me intrigued into this topic, as well as talking to a family relative who is an italian chef, which from him telling me about the use of salt has made me more curious about conducting this experiment. The reason why I had not chosen the idea of testing the various strengths of glues is because I have younger siblings and it would be quite dangerous having many glues around the house, the idea of gas ovens are more efficient than electric would also be unsafe because when carrying out the experiment it might burn and would need an adult supervision while with the salt experiment it would be easy to conduct it by myself. As well as testing what type of tablet dissolves the quickest, it would be very dangerous if my siblings would grab the different types of tablets and would swallow it and there would be a risk of choking. I am very excited to complete this experiment and to see if my predictions would be correct.
