science SRP ideas

okay here are a list of ideas that i wanna do for my srp

• see how long it takes to dissolve different types of lollies ( too many variables)
• how diff levels of bicarb soda affects the height of muffins

and uh i can't really think of anything else at the moment. i am looking through science fair projects but they are all at a primary school level. i will probably do the muffin idea - will start researching soon.

about the muffin idea:

the sugar, flour, egg, milk, butter will be the same for every muffin obviously and the only thing that will be changing is the amount of bi carbonate soda/baking powder. found a simple muffin recipe which has the amount of baking powder shown separately from the flour so that i can change the amount of the baking powder without changing anything else -

but i will probably be replacing the lard with butter or something else which sounds less vomitrous.

update: found a better recipe which does not include lard - blergh - http://www.kitchencookingrecipes.com/recipes/basic-muffin.html

soo most probably using the muffin idea woohoo! problem 1 solved.

um about the size of the muffin, it will probably be about 1/2 table spoons per muffin of muffin mix, not including the amount of baking powder, which means there will be a lot of seperate bowls and washing up to do.
