Our Predictions:
Before we started this experiment we all had to predict what would happen to the chocolate, everyone in the class thought the chocolate would melt because of the sun shining bright on the day but the temperature was a chilly 2 degrees.
Our Results:
We discovered that the chocolate had not melted it was a sad but not a surprising result given the lack of heat in the winter sun that day.
So we found out that even though the sun light was strong the temperature of the air was too low to let the chocolate melt.
Conclusion:
We would like to try this project in summer. It was one of the coldest days in winter. If we tried this experiment in summer we believe the results would be different because in the summer Ireland is closer to the sun so the heat will be increased and this will make the chocolate melt.
