Put the one spoonful of the granulated sugar in a container with hot water and the other spoonful in cold water.
Before you start stirring them, write down your initial observation for each of the combinations.
Stir each of them at a time for one minute intervals until you get to five times.
Record each observation of how they change throughout your experiment.
Clean up your work area, putting everything away.

It shows that compared to the cold water for both granulated and brown sugar, that it takes less time for the sugar to dissolve in the hot water because it has more energy to break up molecules than cold water does. I also conclude that my second hypothesis which states that the granulated sugar will dissolve faster since it isn’t as compact as the other sugar, the more compact it is, the longer it takes since it’s harder to break down the molecules to dissolve them is true by examining my data. My data shows that granulated sugar takes a shorter amount of time for it to dissolve in the cold in hot water, while the brown sugar takes longer to dissolve in cold and hot water. It takes a few more minutes to have the brown sugar be dissolved in the hot and cold water than the granulated sugar in hot and cold
